Asda has vowed to reassess its seafood policies after a campaign by Greenpeace earlier this week. Protestors from the NGO scaled the supermarket's Leeds headquarters and hung a banner highlighting destructive fishing practices, while others toured the city with mobile advertising, before being invited by the company to discuss the issues.
As a result of the meeting, Adsa has agreed to produce a public policy on how it sources sustainable seafood in the next six weeks. Additionally, skate, dogfish, Dover sole and ling have been removed from its shelves immediately, with decisions pending on swordfish and marlin in the coming weeks. http://www.greenconsumerguide.com/index.php?news=2956
