“By the end of 2024, Wagamama will only use Scottish salmon from RSPCA-approved sites.” The vast majority of Scottish salmon farming is RSPCA- approved, yet there are many Feedback works for food that is good for the planet and its people. [...] In addition, as many of the companies operating in Scotland from whom you are likely to be sourcing salmon also operate in Norway, as corporations they continue to create demand for unsustainably fished FMFO from West Africa and other locations. [...] “The FMFO fisheries that are used by salmon farming companies Wagamama buys from are accredited by GlobalGAP, the world’s leading standard for seafood farmed with care.” Pointing to GlobalGAP as a way to demonstrate Wagamama is adhering to high standards is problematic, as GlobalGAP fails to address the ‘food-feed’ competition. [...] In light of your reluctance to engage with us directly, we have recently written to the Apollo Management Group in order to escalate our concerns. [...] We would also like to highlight that Feedback are currently in the process of researching an assessment of food service and hospitality brands public positions on climate, nature and health issues, scheduled for publication in the autumn.
