Sustainability
For over two decades, we've proudly partnered with local producers who share our commitment to responsible practices. From transforming fish processing byproducts into organic fertilisers to adopting eco friendly packaging, we're dedicated to preserving our oceans and environment.
Turning Waste
into Opportunity
Everyday we fillet fresh fish to order, leaving behind heads, frames, and offcuts. While some are used for stocks, much remains. Instead of wasting it, we partner with Marine Solutions WA to create organic fish emulsion, a nutrient rich, NASAA Certified Organic fertiliser used by sustainable farmers across WA. This process reduces waste, supports regenerative agriculture, and helps build a healthier planet.
Recycling for a Greener Future
In 2020, we transitioned most of our local delivery packaging to recycled cardboard boxes. While some regional customers still require polystyrene, we’re committed to reducing its impact. Returned eskies are sent to Claw Environmental, where they’re cleaned, compressed, and repurposed into items like decorative mouldings and coat hangers—giving waste new life and keeping it out of landfills.
Powering with Solar
In December 2020, we took a big step toward reducing our carbon footprint by installing 144 solar panels on our fresh fish processing facility. This shift to renewable energy has cut our electricity use by over 40%, helping us operate more sustainably while reducing our impact on the environment.
Our Suppliers
Committed to Sustainability
For over 20 years, Endeavour Foods has supported local, responsible fisheries. As advocates for sustainable seafood, we’re dedicated to protecting our oceans and ensuring healthy fish stocks for generations to come. Here's a summary of the steps our partners take to ensure a thriving future:
Backed by Science
Our fisheries follow strict management plans and government-set quotas based on independent science. These rules are in place to make sure fish stocks stay healthy and marine environments are protected for the long term.
Fishing in Season, Fishing the Right Size
Our partners stick to regulated seasons and size limits to give fish a chance to grow, breed, and replenish. This helps keep fish stocks strong, year after year.
Low Impact Fishing Methods
From trap caught fish in WA’s north to line-caught species in the south, our fisheries are careful about how they fish. Every method is closely monitored and designed to minimise bycatch and protect marine habitats. Across Australia, fisheries work under some of the world’s strictest regulations to reduce their environmental impact.
World Class Fisheries
Australia’s fisheries are recognised among the best managed in the world. While some go on to achieve additional certifications like MSC (Marine Stewardship Council), every Australian fishery already meets strict government rules that put sustainability first. We’re proud to support them all.
Backing Local Businesses
We work with Australian fishers, families, and small businesses who live and breathe their craft. By supporting local, we’re helping protect jobs, family businesses, and the future of our seafood industry.
Always Improving
Our partners are always looking for ways to do things better. Whether it’s reducing fuel use, trialling new gear to lower bycatch, or working with researchers to better understand fish stocks and ocean ecosystems.
