With increasing demand for natural health supplements, sustainable sourcing becomes a necessity. For Nordic Naturals, sustainability is at the heart of its practices to ensure the long-term health of marine ecosystems and the people who depend on them. Let's take a closer look at how Nordic Naturals is committed to protecting our oceans while delivering the highest quality Omega-3 fish oils.
Why Sustainable Sourcing Matters
Sustainable sourcing is more than just protecting the environment—it's about a future in which our oceans, their creatures, and the communities that rely on them are stable. Threats to marine life through overfishing and harmful practices disrupt ecosystems and limit human access to essential resources like Omega-3s. Sustainably sourced products ensure that such valued resources are used responsibly, ensuring both quality and environmental protection.
Nordic Naturals: A Commitment to Sustainability
At Nordic Naturals, sustainability is not just a buzzword but a practice they live by. All their fish oils are Friend of the Sea (FOS) Certified, meaning they come from healthy,well-managed fisheries that meet strict environmental and social standards. Here's how they ensure sustainability across their sourcing and production processes:
Some of the main features include:
Do not fish from overexploited zones. Fish only from sustainable, healthy fisheries.
Not more than 8% of bycatch is discarded. Nordic Naturals tries to minimize bycatch and safeguard non-target species.
Observe all legislation in force: The company obeys all regional and international legislation about sustainable and ethical fishing.
Social accountability: Their fisheries uphold social responsibility, ensuring fair working conditions for local communities.
Additionally, Nordic Naturals uses selective fishing methods, like specialized nets, to minimize bycatch and protect non-target species. These practices help safeguard marine biodiversity while still providing high-quality Omega-3s.
A Tradition of Sustainability
Nordic Naturals’ commitment to sustainability is deeply rooted in the traditions of the Norwegian Sea. For thousands of years, fishermen in the region have relied on the rich waters of the Norwegian Sea to catch wild Arctic cod, thus keeping the local communities thriving while keeping a delicate balance in marine life. By fusing this age-old fishing tradition with modern, sustainable practices, Nordic Naturals continues to protect the oceans and provide Omega-3 supplements that are both good for you and good for the planet.
