preserve
and respect
our ecosystem

As a major player in fishing in France, Groupe Barba must be exemplary in terms of respect for our ecosystem. The pressure exerted on the oceans is increasing and certain species are becoming rare. In this context, we have put in place processes to guarantee respect for the planet while contributing to food needs.

Respect of quotas
REGULATION

Act to protect the resource

In compliance with international standards, we have set a quota of 60 tonnes of bluefin tuna per year and favor the FAO fishing zone (West and Central Pacific). We also fish for tuna with hook and line, thus avoiding overfishing.

Respect for the ecosystem

QUALITY & ETHIC LABEL

Commit to ethical fishing

Since the creation of the Group, we have strived to work in environmentally friendly conditions and always with a quality approach.

Our internal “Quality & Ethic” label attests to this commitment by guaranteeing ethical fishing methods and respect for the marine eco-system in general.

Responsible packaging

ENVIRONMENTAL DISPLAY

Reduce the impact of our products

In line with our ecological commitments, we have chosen for several years to significantly reduce the use of polyethylene packaging. Our packaging is increasingly recycled and recyclable, including heavy use of cardboard.
