PURPOS E At Seattle Fish Company, we take our role as a responsible supplier of sustainable protein seriously. We strive to conserve resources, operate efficiently, and deliver nutritious food to the communities we serve . Our annual Impact Report provides an opportunity to reflect on our progress, celebrate milestones, and set intentions for the year ahead. The urgency is clear - over the next 50 years, humanity will need to produce as much food as we have in the past 10,000. Yet expanding cultivated land risks accelerating climate change, meaning we must rethink how and where we grow, raise, and source our food. We believe seafood is essential to that transformation. Despite covering 70% of the Earth’s surface, our oceans currently provide less than 7% of the protein consumed by humans. Fish and shellfish are incredibly efficient sources of protein, requiring less feed and freshwater than traditional livestock. In some cases, like shellfish farming, they even improve the environment by restoring habitats and filtering water. Responsible wild fishing and aquaculture offer a way to nourish communities while being mindful of ecological impact. At the same time, we recognize the importance of dietary diversity and the enduring role of terrestrial meat . Large areas of land are best suited for raising livestock, and when managed regeneratively - mimicking natural grazing patterns - these systems can restore soil health and sequester carbon. That’s why we’re also committed to improving the sustainability of the meat we source, alongside our work in seafood. As we continue to pursue our vision of leading the growth of sustainable seafood consumption - and expand our portfolio of center-of-the-plate proteins - we remain focused on responsible growth. We’re identifying key areas for improvement and implementing action plans to reduce our environmental impact, ensuring that future generations have access to nourishing, sustainable food.
