Tonnino and Friends of Cocos Island Foundation
Dolphin safe
We care for Mother Nature as it is from Mother Nature that we obtain our most important raw material. We are aware of the value of our resource and also care about other species being negatively affected by tuna catches in some parts of the world. For this reason, we have made the decision that our tuna will only come from safe sources. We only buy fish from responsible boats that follow the appropriate dolphin safe measures and can guarantee through third party observers that the tuna fishing has not harmed any other species. Our task is to be part of the companies that understand the relevance of this issue, being approved members of both the Earth Island Institute and the Interamerican Association of Tropical Tuna, commissions that watch over the sustainable exploitation of the resource. We can proudly say that we have been a dolphin safe company for many years and that our strategy is to continue supporting such programs in order to protect marine resources.
Water treatment plant
In search of a rational use of all our resources, as well as the recycling of paper, cardboard, plastic and other residuals of the production process, we have set programs and objectives to avoid environmental contamination. Our productive process is a clean procedure because we use 100% of the whole fish as whatever is not destined to the cans is employed in the making of other sub-products such as fish meal, fish oil, and tuna fins. Our water treatment plant is a state of the art residual deposit with an investment of over 2 million dollars guaranteeing drinkable out coming water.
