The Global Organization for EPA and DHA Omega-3s (GOED) has launched an educational portal focused on sustainability in the global EPA and DHA omega-3 category.
The online portal is designed to be a comprehensive resource for industry professionals, regulators and NGOs, offering transparency into the sustainability credentials of the modern omega-3 sector.
The webpage covers:
- What sustainability means in today's omega-3 industry
- The breadth and complexity of the EPA and DHA supply chain
- Sustainability profile of omega-3s depending on source (eg. algae, fish-derived)
- GOED's role in championing omega-3 sustainability
The webpage's goal is to benchmark the sustainability performance of the omega-3 industry, a well as identifying practical ways GOED can promote continuous improvement across its global membership.
“Stakeholders worldwide are asking tougher questions about the environmental and social costs of production — and omega-3s are no exception,” commented GOED’s Director of Sustainability and Market Intelligence, Chris Gearheart.
“This portal showcases the omega-3 industry’s longstanding commitment to evidence-based research, responsible practices and leadership."
"We invite the broader supplement industry to use this portal to spark new conversations about what sustainability looks like in the nutrition space.”
