Company Policies and Reports
For over 45 years Camerican has been selectively procuring canned/pouch pack tuna and various seafood products through producers who follow fishing and harvesting methods friendly to the conservation of marine habitat. Their tuna suppliers follow certain protocols to ensure bycatch limitation such as 'Dolphin Safe'. They have also made further commitments like joining the Earth Island Institute.
Camerican recognise the importance of Sustainable Agriculture and have placed this at the centre of their sourcing strategy. This involves working with over 2000 processors and growers in over 40 countries to ensure a larger picture of how successful policy and practice must be implemented. They actively encourage their suppliers to use Sustainable Agriculture practices such as Integrated Pest Management and Waste Water Treatment.
