Pacific Seafood Company, provider of the healthiest protein on earth, has released its sixth annual CSR report highlighting Pacific Seafood’s transformation in all aspects of its business. The company has increased its sustainability efforts, supported groundbreaking research, created long-term community partners, and added more team member benefits.

“Transformation,” the theme of this year’s report, goes hand in hand with how Pacific Seafood defines excellence: Consistently doing your best and always striving for the best.

Sustainability and the environment

  • PAC-12 Carbon Offset – In partnership with PAC-12, Pacific Seafood has made the first carbon-neutral Power 5 conference game a reality by purchasing carbon offsets from United Green Energy.
  • LED energy saving – Pacific seafood consumption in Quilcene decreased energy intake by 75%. By partnering with the Jefferson County Public Service District, Pacific Seafood has been able to replace outdated lighting with LED lights that will save 1 million kilowatt-hours of electricity annually.

Value, creativity and quality
