RAISING THE STANDARD
Code of Conduct
Our Code of Conduct
High standards run in our DNA.
Whether it’s the quality of a Cod loin, the safety of a vessel or the ethics governing the way we trade, Ocean Trawlers has grown by acting professionally,
fairly and safely.
To safeguard the interests of everyone involved in our business we are governed by a Code of Conduct. This has two strands:
A Code of Conduct for Fishing. This stipulates our responsibilities in terms of international trade; fishing quotas; illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing; vessel and crew safety, and working conditions.
A Code of Conduct for Processing. This governs our operations regarding the working environment for fish preparation; specifications for worker safety and fire prevention; workers’ housing, rights, wages, benefits and hours; freedom of association; steps against child labour, discrimination, harassment and abuse; and disciplinary procedures.
