ASC CoC Certification
Yokorei is developing a Norwegian salmon farming business with its partner company Hofseth.
Ensuring these aquaculture businesses are safe and reliable requires raising the fish in appropriate production environments and transporting them in a way that can be fully trusted.
The global standard for quality management in aquaculture is certification by the ASC (Aquaculture Stewardship Council).
This certification is only awarded to sustainable aquaculture businesses that have low environmental impact and are managed in a way that is considerate of the local community.
Hofseth's farms are the first trout farms in Norway to receive ASC certification. As of 2019, all of our facilities in the country have been certified.
What are the Seven Core Principles of the ASC Standard?
As a certification standard that aims to reduce the negative impact of aquaculture around the world, ASC certification requires seven principles to be met that incorporate the latest scientific knowledge and measurable results.
When transporting aquaculture products which have been produced using proper methods, it is also extremely important to ensure traceability in order to prevent them from getting mixed with uncertified marine products.
CoC (Chain of Custody: the management of processing and distribution procedures) certification is a system for doing this. YOKOREI acquires this certification in order to guarantee the trustworthiness of the distribution of our aquaculture products, so we can deliver safe and reliable farmed marine products to tables all over Japan.
