Sustainability Commitment. DOM’s Sustainability Commitment states that it is committed to sourcing all of its farmed products from organic certified or ASC certified sources. If organic certified or ASC certified products are not available, its minimum sourcing standard for its farmed products is GLOBAL G.A.P. All of DOM’s wild products are currently MSC certified, and it is committed to upholding this commitment depending on availability. DOM has already achieved this commitment (100% farmed product is GLOBAL G.A.P and 100% wild product is MSC certified), and has a full chain traceability policy that traces at least the product scientific name, geographic origin, farmed or wild and gear type or farming method (personal communication, D. Porporo, 14/02/2023).

Social Responsibility Commitment. DOM’s Supplier Code of Conduct states that it is committed to operating safely and sustainably, guided by its own standards built on those of its customers and on international standards and guidelines, such as the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact, the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) and ILO conventions and recommendations. As part of this commitment, DOM expects the same compliance from its suppliers. To become or remain a supplier for DOM International, suppliers must comply with the same standards and sign its Supplier Code of Conduct on an annual basis (personal communications, D. Porporo, 14/02/2023).
