Sanford fishing was a great place to visit. I loved hearing about the sustainability efforts that the company is making. I loved hearing about the projects they are apart of. The fact that they give back the parts they don’t use like the fish heads to local communities shows they are trying to give back…

There was a lot to learn about sustainability through Sanford Fishing! Interestingly, I thought one of the most important topics we discussed was the packaging around the fish products. It is very easy to demonize all single use plastics and point fingers at companies that use them, but our speaker pointed out that until there…

Today we talked with sustainability manager Peter Longdill at Sanford Fishing Company, the largest fishery in New Zealand. One of the most interesting things to hear was how their auctioning worked.

Today we learned about sustainable fishing at Sanford Fishing. The only thing I really knew about fishing was how unethical it is most of the time, so it was interesting to hear their strategies and what they do to make sure their fishing is not doing harm to people, or the environment. One thing they…

For our last day in Auckland we went to Sanford Fishing Company. First off, I would like to say I liked the overall area of the location, and it was a nice, peaceful walk. When we got there we learned how much of a competitive business fishing is, and how they need to have auctions…

Today we visited Sanford sustainable fish factory on the water, founded in 1864. This is the oldest company listed on the NZ stock exchange. It is a generational practice which has been growing from one generation to the next. It was very cool to see how they auctioned off the fish as wholesale to other…
