With Encompass fishmeal, we understand the importance of maintaining resilient ecosystems that produce safe, nutritious, and high-quality food and feed ingredients. Challenges in climate health, overfishing, ecosystem losses, and lack of transparency across the supply chain could lead to food supply disruptions in the future.
Our sustainability strategy directly addresses the responsible product sourcing for marine products as well as the environmental, social, and economic considerations that marine products have on our planet, ecosystems, communities, and people. All year long, we work diligently to ensure end-to-end traceability by owning MSC (Marine Stewardship Council) and MarinTrust Chain of Custody certifications to help our customers meet ASC (Aqua Stewardship Council) and BAP (Best Aquaculture Practices) certifications and more.
Experience 100% traceability and transparency for all your marine ingredients with Encompass by Scoular.
