With our aim to become one of the global players in the industry, it
is our long-term desire to maintain a balance between business growth
and social responsibility. We define sustainability as the continuous
effort of our business, not only to adhere to sustainability principle,
but to contribute positively to the long-term development of society and
the conservation of natural resources to sustain future generations. We
say, “Better. Life. Ahead.”
We are recognizing the importance of integrating the social and
environmental principles in our daily activity in our search for
business excellence. We will measure our performance based on our code
of principle which was conceptualized and founded on our values, mission
and vision. We are implementing a clear Corporate Social Responsibility
strategy throughout RD Manufacturing Group (RDMG).
As part of this initiative, we source the raw materials used in our
products with suppliers who shared our principles. We summarized our
expectations in the RD Manufacturing Group Code of Conduct for
Responsible Fish Procurement. This code includes practices and standards
of international consensus with respect to sustainability criteria of
the competent authorities Code of Conduct for Responsible Fisheries and
the principles of our Code of Conduct for Tuna Fishing.
RD Manufacturing Group expects from all its tuna suppliers to share
the principles expressed in this Code of Conduct and that they be
applied to their company headquarters, subsidiaries and affiliates, as
well as to the rest of the individuals with whom they maintain business
relationships. The expressed commitment and compliance of our suppliers
is considered essential to maintain fair, stable and long-term
relationships with our suppliers.
We developed management system to ensure that our suppliers comply
with these principles. RD Manufacturing Group commits to maintaining
communication with its suppliers to strengthen mutual understanding so
that social responsibility criteria can be implemented in our daily
activities every step of the way. We commit to support our suppliers in
the implementation and monitoring of the measures needed towards full
compliance of the Code.
We will maintain and continue to reinforce the RD Manufacturing Group
Code of Conduct for Responsible Tuna Procurement. We hope that this
will make RD Manufacturing Group worthy of our clients and suppliers’
trust and confidence. We believe that implementation of the RD
Manufacturing Group Code of Conduct for Responsible Fish Procurement
will essentially improve the overall sustainability of the tuna sector
and will further strengthen the product quality, competitiveness and
profitability of both our company and that of our partners.
