Sustainability Commitment. Janes’ website states that it adheres to its commitment to sourcing sustainable seafood by following a three-part process: (1) quality control: Janes employs boat-to-plate chain of custody which includes full product inspections at each point in the chain, (2) traceability: Janes’ inspection reports provide complete traceability for every product, and (3) certification. In 2011, Janes became the first branded seafood company in North America to have 100% of its retail seafood products certified by the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC).
