We are committed to being an industry leader in responsible sourcing. At Sushi Soku, responsible sourcing is not only about ensuring we achieve a 100% responsibly sourced seafood supply-base, but also partnering with best-in-class suppliers who adhere to our strict standards for food safety and quality, fair labor practices, and protections focused on food defense and prevention of food fraud.
We believe in the importance of protecting our oceans. Responsible seafood sourcing allows us to do our part in maintaining healthy fish populations and protect the ocean ecosystem for future generations. Responsible sourcing is a voluntary commitment made by us to take environmental and social factors into account when managing relationships with our suppliers. This is an indispensable component of effective and ethical supply chain management.
Through our selection and active engagement with supplier partners, we are committed to a 100% Responsibly-Sourced seafood supply base and will set the example for responsible and sustainable sourcing in our industry. Our wild-caught fish is MSC certified by approved 3rd party auditors, or vetted as sustainable by FIP or governmental standards, and our responsibly farmed products meet a minimum of BAP 4-star or ASC certification. Our seafood is traceable to farm or fishery. We partner only with best-in-class suppliers who adhere to our strict standards for food safety, quality, and fair labor practices.
As part of our mission to protect our oceans, we hosted a volunteer event with Charleston Surfrider to pick-up trash in our local coastal environment. The pollution causes a threat to marine life and ultimately the sushi that our customers eat every day. Learn more about the fight against pollution from our partner, Charleston Surfrider, an organization dedicated to protecting and preserving our beautiful coastal environments.
