For its wild seafood, this means sourcing MSC certified products. If MSC certified products are not available, Toppits sources seafood that is Ocean Wise Recommended. For its farmed seafood, this means sourcing BAP certified products first. if BAP certified products are not available, Toppits sources products that are ASC certified. Toppits has a full chain traceability policy in place but has not specified goals or timelines in relation to its commitments (personal communication, C. Maldeniya, 10/01/2023).
