In the picturesque waters of Tasmania, where pristine landscapes meet blue seas, the Tasmania Oyster Company - an oyster farming company with strong dedication to environmental stewardship - operates. Highlighting the company’s commitment to environmentally conscientious practices, the oyster producer recently underwent the rigorous audit process to renew its Friend of the Sea certification.
The certification renewal signifies far more than just a validation of compliance to strict standards; it represents a strong commitment to environmental stewardship and the relentless pursuit of sustainable practices. During the recertification audit, every facet of the company’s operations was meticulously scrutinised, ensuring alignment with the highest benchmarks of long-term sustainability.
According to a press announcement of the company’s recertification, at the core of the Tasmanian Oyster Company’s values is a great respect for nature and the overall harmony between humans and the environment. By renewing its Friend of the Sea certification, the company reaffirms its pledge to not only produce high quality shellfish, but also to do so in a manner that minimises its ecological footprint and maximises positive environmental impact.
Aiming to act as guardians of the marine environment, the company commits to evaluate its operations, exploring ways to diminish resource consumption, minimise plastic waste, and adhere to the principles of a circular economy. In doing so, it reduces its environmental footprint as well as establishing a model for widespread industry transformation.
