Tesco joins WWF in advocating a Seascape approach to better protect marine biodiversity
Sets out roadmap for putting new approach into action in its tuna supply chain, including 100% MSC-certified tuna by 2025
Tesco and WWF’s joint ambition is for industry-wide adoption by 2030
Tesco has today joined WWF in advocating for a Seascape approach to marine sustainability, which is designed to ensure whole marine ecosystems are maintained in a healthy, productive way.
The retailer will first adopt the Seascape approach for its tuna sourcing and has set out a roadmap to transition to ecosystem-based fisheries management by 2030.
Despite improvements in fisheries management, marine biodiversity continues to be at risk from overfishing, with 94% of all fish stocks either overfished or at a maximum sustainable level. Amongst the species most as risk is tuna, which is integral to the diets of millions of people across the globe.

The retailer said it expected its suppliers to “already have mitigating measures in place”
Ocado has told suppliers it expects them to have already taken action to “mitigate” Brexit price rises, as anger grows over retailers expecting suppliers to shoulder the impact of a possible no-deal Brexit.
With negotiations between the UK and EU on a knife edge, the online supermarket has written to suppliers refusing to enter negotiations over price rises caused by extra tariff costs.
It comes after The Grocer revealed yesterday The Co-op had told suppliers it expects them to absorb tariff increases for all promotional activity for the next three months, if Brexit negotiations result in a no-deal.

The retailer said its buying teams would not accept any cost increases as promotions were already “locked and loaded”
The Co-op has told suppliers it expects them to absorb tariff increases for three months, if Brexit negotiations result in a no-deal.
The Grocer has obtained a letter sent from the retailer saying promotions lined up until March are already “locked and loaded” and that its buying teams will not accept any cost increases.
The retailer told The Grocer it would be “almost impossible” to change the prices for agreed promotional activity. It had already committed to major spending on marketing in store and advertising campaigns, it added.
