Signatory to the Australian Packaging Covenant, a voluntary agreement to encourage waste minimisation.

Second lowest rating in Greenpeace Canned Tuna Guide. "Sole Mare came 9th. Sole Mare claims it sources only FAD-free and pole and line caught tuna, but it needs to make improvements to its traceability auditing. Its product range is still based entirely on less responsible yellowfin tuna, and it is still developing its sustainability policy and information disclosure processes. We look forward to seeing Sole Mare do better in future."

Sole Mare uses only yellowfin tuna. Yellowfin tuna is rated either 'eat less' or 'say no' by GoodFish, Australia's sustainable seafood guide.
