Gategroup, the world’s largest airline catering company, has announced a major update to its seafood welfare policy. The company will source all of its farmed seafood exclusively from certified sources by 2030, requiring ASC, RSPCA, Naturland, GAP, European Organic, or FOS certification. This commitment represents a significant shift in the airline catering industry’s approach to sustainable and ethical seafood sourcing. The policy update reflects growing pressure on food service providers to demonstrate responsible supply chain practices and animal welfare standards. Gategroup’s decision will likely influence supplier practices across the global aquaculture sector, as the company serves numerous major airlines worldwide. The multi-certification approach allows flexibility while maintaining high welfare and sustainability standards across different regional markets and production systems.
