As part of the UK-wide campaign to transform our impact on depleting fish stocks, Edwards and Ward has committed to use only demonstrably sustainable fish across its whole business, which serves over 7.5 million meals per year.
Mike Ward, joint managing director of Edwards and Ward said: “This commitment to sustainable fish is a natural step for us – it’s nonsense that a school caterer should consider anything else.
“We were taking action towards sustainable fish as part of the Food for Life Catering Mark – this pledge will develop that commitment, and mean that we will now raise awareness about overfishing and choosing sustainable fish with our pupils and parents.”
Serving demonstrably sustainable fish is part of the Headteachers' Checklist for the new School Food Standards, and part of the Food for Life Catering Mark standards.
