SUSTAINABILITY

Sustainable fisheries are those fisheries that are managed, managed effectively and made sure that the resource is not being wasted and the ecosystem is also being taken into consideration. This approach works to ensure that the ocean’s essential resources are preserved for generations to come. Sustainable fisheries practice better fisheries management techniques, such as stock assessment, which is used to estimate fish population size and can be used to restrict fishing when the population is low. They also use spatial controls, such as closed areas and marine protected areas, to protect sensitive habitats or species. Lastly, sustainable fisheries utilize technology to track and monitor the resource, its habitats, and fishing activities, which helps them uphold their sustainability commitments.

Our Goal; To be the first Carbon Neutral Tuna Factory in the world.

BKN has set the goal to be accountable for the carbon.

We believe in a sustainable future, and we’re committed to achievieng carbon neutrality through multi strategy such as:

Life Cycle Study with BlueYou: We’re partnering with BlueYou to conduct a thorough life cycle study of our products. This analysis will help us understand the environmental impact of our products at every stage, from raw material extraction to disposal, and identify key areas where we can reduce our carbon footprint.

GHG Emissions Tracking with Zeroe: Our collaboration with Zeroe will enable us to implement a state-of-the-art software/master data system to accurately measure and track our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This data is crucial for making informed decisions and setting meaningful reduction targets.

Low-Emissions Refrigerants: We’re committed to transitioning 30% of our operations to refrigerants with a significantly lower global warming potential. This change will have a substantial positive impact on our carbon footprint.

Our tuna is caught by Indonesian handline tuna fishermen involved in the AP2HI Tuna FIP. All of our fishermen catch tuna by handline, in small vessels. Handline fishing is naturally sustainable as fishers target large fish with literally zero impact on the environment and, an extremely low incidence of bycatch. Through the FIP process fishermen are trained to avoid endangered, threatened, and protected species as well as safety at sea, sustainable fishing practices, and proper recording of the catch.
