As a proud Gold Member of Origin Green, sustainability is a core value at Keohane Seafoods. We responsibly source all our seafood from well-managed fisheries and farms, ensuring full accredited traceability from tide to table.

 

Keohane’s sustainability strategy has two core pillars that deliver shared value to our business, our employees, customers, consumers, community, and the environment: a. Future Fit Factories – ensuring that we continue to strive for efficiency, but with one eye on the practical actions that will reduce our carbon footprint and protect the natural environment. Investing for the future means continuously improving our facilities, replacing refrigerants, installing energy efficient motors and machinery, and starting to generate our own power. For example, in 2024, we installed our 1st on site solar generation while in 2023, we reduced our water consumption by 13.3%. b. Support the Circular Economy –First Removing and Reducing, and then recycling or reusing packaging wherever we can. This is not just for primary product packaging, that appears on retail shelves but for all elements of the goods that we procure for processing. Some of our key initiatives in this regard include • 94% of our cardboard packaging is made from recycled material • 100% of our cardboard FSC certified • In 2023, we increased waste to recycling by 12.3% • 100% of our polystyrene is recycled
