How are Wegmans and Environmental Defense ensuring that the standards outlined in the policy are implemented and what demonstrates success?
Performance-based standards are the best way to show on-the-water improvement in aquaculture. Wherever possible, the standards require farmed shrimp producers to meet tough performance metrics and targets. Participating suppliers are required to produce an annual public report demonstrating their compliance with the purchasing standards; compliance is then verified by a third party auditor.
