Modern slavery statements are analysed to see if they comply with the mandatory reporting requirements, identify or disclose obvious modern slavery risks, and demonstrate effective actions to address risks. This company's modern slavery disclosure statement received a rating in the 41-60% range. The average score was 44% and the highest score was 89%.

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". However since Greenpeace released its Canned Tuna Guide in 2017, Sole Mare has addressed many of their concerns including making sustainability, human rights and ethical sourcing policies publicly available on its website.
