While we strive to achieve these 11 commitments of responsible business operations for long-term sustainability, the following remain as the four pillars of our business practices: Human and Labor Rights, Climate Action, Circularity, and Biodiversity.
Human and Labor Rights
Aligned with Thai Union Group’s commitment that 100% of wild-caught seafood will be responsibly produced by 2030*, the Company’s sourcing not only ensures sustainability practices across the entire supply chain, but also champions a workplace that is safe, decent, and equitable for all employees.
*All species in Priority Group 1, representing over 90% of TU's total wild-capture volume. We will continue to drive continuous improvement for other species towards and beyond 2030.
Climate Action
In order to ensure responsible and measurable progress throughout our supply chain, we target to reduce greenhouse gas emission by 42% within our Scope 1 and Scope 2 initiatives by 2030. Our Scope 3 emissions reduction efforts, meanwhile, are always consistent with Thai Union Group’s overall climate action targets.
Circularity
To minimize our impact on the environment, i-Tail ensures that our production processes are optimized to achieve zero water discharge, zero waste to landfill, and zero food loss.
Aware that plastic wastes and packaging products are harmful to the environment, we target the use of sustainable packaging for 100% of our branded products by 2025, and contribute to Thai Union Group’s targets of diverting 1,500 tons of ocean bound plastic from our waterways and oceans, as well as providing sustainable packaging for at least 60% of our private label products.
Biodiversity
i-Tail adopts responsible sourcing as a means to promote biodiversity and preserve the ecosystem.
We are aligned with Thai Union Group’s commitment that 100% of wild-caught seafood will be responsibly produced by 2030* and that, by 2025, tuna products are sourced by us only from vessels and suppliers that demonstrate best practices in their operation.
Furthermore, we ensure that 100% of our chicken raw materials are responsibly sourced, and that all soy oil used is certified, supporting zero deforestation and land conversion throughout the entire supply chain process.
For farmed shrimp and feed, we ensure that 100% are responsibly produced according to credible industry standards, or part of improvement programs designed to minimize environmental impact on surrounding ecosystems.
*All species in Priority Group 1, representing over 90% of TU's total wild-capture volume. We will continue to drive continuous improvement for other species towards and beyond 2030.
