WWF-SASSI

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]

The WWF Southern African Sustainable Seafood Initiative (SASSI) drives change in the local seafood industry by working throughout the seafood supply chain to:

  • Shift demand away from over-exploited marine species, and enabling sustainable seafood decisions

They do this by distilling complex science into easy-to-use tools categorizing seafood per a ‘traffic light’ system, Green= Best choice ; Orange = Think twice, Red = Don’t Buy

A cornerstone of the WWF-SASSI programme is to drive an increase in awareness of sustainable seafood by asking three questions: ‘

  • What are you eating? 
  • Where is it from and,
  • How was it caught or farmed? 

This information enables full traceability and transparency within the culinary industry and translates into an easy-to use decision-making tool for chefs & consumers.

WWF-SASSI AND THE JHP GOURMET GUIDE™ 

For the last two years, the JHP Gourmet Guide™ has proudly partnered with WWF-SASSI in an effort to create a philosophy of responsible sourcing of sustainable seafood within the industry. The Haute Green Philosophy award in partnership with WWF-SASSI is aimed at helping the culinary industry along its sustainability journey and is awarded to a restaurant that celebrates local talent and the indigenous produce that the country has to offer.
