A LETTER FROM OUR SUSTAINABILITY TEAM
2024 marked a year of significant transition for Seattle Fish Company and Lombardi Brothers Meats. We consolidated both companies into a single location , welcomed Christian Maas as our new president following Derek Figueroa’s retirement after more than 30 years, and laid the groundwork for implementing a new company-wide Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. These changes position us for greater efficiency and continued progress . Operating from one facility will reduce waste and optimize resource use, while the new ERP system will provide more detailed, real-time product data - empowering better, more sustainable decisions. Last year, we shared preliminary data on the relative carbon footprints of our product categories. While that initial effort was time-intensive and directional, we’re now better equipped to refine and expand on that data in the future. As with any period of change, some results have been mixed. On the positive side, fewer of our products were transported by air, significantly lowering their carbon impact , and we reduced overall trash output. However, electricity and water usage increased, and our average Ecoscore dipped slightly due to some farmed products choosing not to renew their certifications. Thank you for your continued partnership. If you're interested in learning more about sustainable product options, we encourage you to connect with us.
