MarinTrust Annual Report 2022

"Despite the global challenges, MarinTrust continues to grow from strength to strength, championing best practice and driving improvements in the global responsibility of the sourcing and production of Marine Ingredients. This report shows the many ways that we continue to evolve and grow, from the latest version of the MarinTrust Standard to the new FIPs under the Improver Programme. This is all down to the hard work of our team and supporting committees and I would like to thank them all for another successful year."

In this period, four companies covering a total of fourteen sites in Chile, China, Peru and Spain have joined the MarinTrust Chain of Custody Standard.
Also in this period, thirty sites have become MarinTrust Improver Programme accepted. This figure includes twenty-two sites which are already certified to the MarinTrust Standard who have also become Improver Programme accepted using raw material from the NE Atlantic Blue Whiting FIP.
