We have an important responsibility to promote healthy oceans and fish stocks by making sustainable sourcing choices. We also know that our customers really care about how their seafood is sourced.
In 2024, we jointly-funded a project with our supplier Ocean Fish aimed at improving fishing efficiency, as well as the ecological and economic sustainability of Ocado's beam trawl supply chain. The objective was understanding how fishing gear operates on the seabed using CatchCam systems and identifying improvements.
In 2024, we sourced 87% of Ocado Own Range products from sustainable sources, a 4% increase from the 2021 base year. In 2025, 99% of all Ocado Own Range chilled and canned seafood MSC-certified.
In 2024, 80% of seafood in scope had a FFDRm<1, and 16% of the seafood in scope had a FFDRo <1. All (100%) of fishmeal and fish oil was certified to Marin Trust, an international certification programme for marine ingredients.
Since 2022, we've been members of the Sustainable Seafood Coalition and support the vision that 100% of the seafood sold in the UK comes from sustainable sources. We abide by the Sourcing and Labelling Codes of the Sustainable Seafood Coalition and we will never sell endangered species.
For three consecutive years, we have been named the MSC UK Online Brand of the Year in recognition of how we “used [our] platform to champion sustainable seafood, promote certified products and raise awareness around the blue MSC ecolabel.”
100% of the Ocado Own Range chilled wild-caught fish is MSC-certified.
100% Ocado Own Brand farmed prawns are Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) certified.
