LUNENBURG, N.S. — High Liner Foods has announced that 99 per cent of its seafood purchases are from certified sustainable or responsible sources.

“Three years ago, we set an ambitious goal that fundamentally changed the way we do business, and I’m very proud that we’ve achieved 99 per cent of that goal,” said Henry Demone, CEO of High Liner Foods. “I applaud the efforts of our entire team, and particularly our corporate director of sustainability, Bill DiMento, and our Sustainability Council, procurement team, and systems development team for giving us a tool to track raw material purchases.”
