High Liner Foods response to Uyghur forced labour & migrant worker abuse in seafood supply chains

Response from High Liner Foods to the Ocean Outlaw Project investigation into Uyghur forced labour and migrant abuse in seafood supply chains:

“High Liner Foods takes these allegations very seriously and requires strict adherence to our Supplier Code of Conduct as part of our supplier approval process.  Upon receiving initial contact from Outlaw Ocean, we researched the claims extensively across our Supply Chain and specifically with our supplier Yantai Sanko Fisheries in China.  Yantai Sanko was audited by our third-party social compliance auditors as part of our regular supplier audit process in December 2022. After hearing of the allegations brought forward by Outlaw Ocean, High Liner had Yantai Sanko audited again in August 2023, finding no evidence in either audit of the use of forced labour. Out of an abundance of caution, and in light of the concerning evidence and allegations included in this article, we are no longer doing business with Yantai Sanko Fisheries. High Liner Foods is working with alternate suppliers to ensure that we minimize the impact on our supply chain.”
