Judging comment:

"Young’s demonstrated real leadership and best practice in a sector whose whole future depends on sustainability, setting an example for all others to follow."

"Young's has been at the forefront of seafood sustainability efforts for many years. They have invested heavily in sustainability, developed an in-house expertise second to none in the industry, and helped fisheries worldwide to make improvements and enter the MSC program. Companies have to balance competing needs, and could – from an NGO perspective – always do more for the environment, but if all seafood suppliers followed Young's lead, the world's fisheries and oceans would be in much better condition today."
