OUR PROCESSES: BLUE WAVE’S COMMITMENT TO
ETHICAL PRACTICES

At Blue Wave, our love for seafood goes far beyond  serving delicious quality products. We are dedicated to maintaining the highest standards of integrity  throughout our entire supply chain.

From responsibly sourcing seafood to upholding superior ethical standards in our global facilities, we take pride in providing exceptional seafood without compromising on quality, sustainability, ethical practices, or transparency.

Setting the Standard

Our commitment to combating modern slavery within our operations is deeply ingrained in every level of our  supply chain. This holistic approach ensures that we uphold fair labour practices and comply with all legal and ethical standards - aligning with the mandates outlined in the Modern Slavery Act 2018 (CTH).

The publication of our fourth iteration of KB Seafood’s Modern Slavery Statement this year serves as a  testament to our ongoing efforts to address and eradicate modern slavery risks within our business and supply chains.

By integrating ethical considerations into our quality control processes, we ensure that our seafood is not only high-quality but also responsibly sourced and produced.

Sourcing Responsibly and Producing Ethically

Our journey starts at sea level with strong, long-lasting relationships with suppliers across the globe who are committed to responsible and ethical fishing practices.

We carefully select the best produce at the best prices, always mindful of our impact on marine ecosystems and local communities. This ensures that our seafood is sourced in a way that respects both the environment and the people involved in the fishing process.

We acknowledge the gravity of human rights violations such as forced labour, servitude, child labour, deceptive recruitment practices, and debt bondage. To confront these challenges, Blue Wave remains dedicated to  adhering to industry standards and upholding the  principles outlined in the UN Guiding Principles on  Business and Human Rights (UNGP). 

Our suppliers are more than just business partners - they are critical components of our ethical strategy. By  using a stringent process to select our partners and working closely with them, we ensure that every step of the fishing process aligns with our commitment to sustainability and ethical practices. This collaborative approach allows us to maintain the highest standards and provide our customers with seafood that is responsibly sourced and ethically produced. 

From Sea to Table: Our Rigorous Processes

Every Blue Wave seafood product undergoes a meticulous process from the moment it is caught to the moment it is sealed in the bag with our stamp of approval. This journey is carefully monitored to maintain our rigorous standards for sustainability, ethics, and quality.

Quality Control at Every Step

Our quality control processes are designed to ensure that every product meets our high standards. This involves regular inspections and assessments to verify that our seafood is not only fresh and delicious but also produced in an ethically responsible manner. By maintaining strict supervision at every stage, we can confidently deliver seafood that our customers can trust.

Innovations in Ethical Practices

At Blue Wave, we are always looking for new ways to improve our ethical practices. This includes investing in advanced technologies and processes that enhance transparency and traceability in our supply chain. By staying at the forefront of innovation, we can continue to lead the industry in ethical seafood production.

Vision for the Future: Leading the Way in Ethical Seafood

Our vision for the future is driven by a steadfast commitment to sustainability, ethics and quality. Our vision and values guide our endeavour to become the preferred seafood supplier, operating with unwavering commitment to ethical, sustainable, and responsible practices in collaboration with both internal and external partners. We aim to set new standards in the seafood industry by continuously improving our practices and leading by example. 

This vision guides us as we strive to provide the best seafood products while making a positive impact on the world around us.

A Commitment to Continuou Improvement

We believe that there is always room for improvement, and we are dedicated to finding new ways to enhance our ethical practices. This commitment ensures that we remain a trusted leader in the seafood market by staying ahead of industry trends.

Inspiring Change in the Industry

By maintaining our commitment to ethical practices, we hope to inspire others in the industry to do the same. Our objective is to initiate a domino effect that supports responsible sourcing, fair labour practices, and  sustainability throughout the entire seafood supply chain.

Blue Wave's Unwavering Dedication to Ethical Practices

At Blue Wave, we are unwavering in our commitment to ethical practices. Under KB Seafood, we publish an  annual Modern Slavery Statement, ensuring  transparency and accountability in our efforts to combat forced labour and exploitation. All of our suppliers,  including our own operating facilities, are required to participate in thirdparty social responsibility audits to uphold the highest ethical standards.

Tim Storey, KB Seafood's CEO, says: "At KB we firmly believe that every individual has the right to work in conditions free from exploitation and coercion. Our dedication to upholding these principles is not just a legal requirement; it is a moral imperative that guides everything we do. But our commitment goes beyond mere compliance. We are actively working to create a culture of transparency, accountability, and respect throughout our organisation and supply chain. We recognise that eradicating modern slavery requires a collective effort, and we are committed to working collaboratively with our partners, stakeholders, and industry peers to drive positive change."

We take pride in providing top-quality seafood that is responsibly sourced and ethically produced. By maintaining our high standards and continuously seeking new ways to improve, we ensure that every Blue Wave product is a testament to our dedication to integrity and excellence.

Reflecting our values and our dedication to ethical practices, our processes set us apart in the seafood industry.
