#NationalSeafoodMonth Partner Highlight: National Fisheries Institute (NFI). NFI is a non-profit organization dedicated to education about seafood safety, sustainability, and nutrition. We work closely with the NFI Crab Council as their Sustainability Envoy. As the Envoy, we are responsible for helping crab producers in other countries - such as Vietnam and Thailand - meet sustainability benchmarks so the Council can provide its members in the United States with sustainable crab 👉 https://bit.ly/495cGwK

At O2, we understand that true sustainability considers a holistic approach: reducing environmental impact, supporting a thriving seafood economy, and ensuring the protection of human rights through socially responsible practices. Over the next few weeks, we’ll explore these core tenets and highlight the important work we’re doing to support them. In the meantime, read more about how our Vision, Mission, and Values center around holistic sustainability 👉 https://bit.ly/47VFEQ8.
