Joseph,
It’s happening! The 2017 Canned Tuna Sustainability Ranking is out.

Since 2011, we’ve been holding tuna companies to account by ranking them on their sustainability performance. We’re helping customers find out which tuna companies are providing the most responsibly-caught tuna — and which are failing.

The 2017 ranking is out now — click here to see how the tuna companies stack up.

Since we launched this campaign six years ago there has been lots of positive changes in the tuna aisles of supermarkets across Canada!

The results of the Greenpeace survey and the in-store surveys conducted by many of you told us:

    •    The number of more sustainable tuna products sold in Canada has quadrupled since 2011.
    •    13 of 17 companies have some form of a tuna policy, compared to only a few in 2011.
    •    4 companies have a full commitment to offer only responsibly-caught tuna and one of them is Canada’s second biggest brand, Ocean’s.
    •    Canada’s biggest supermarket chains must do more to make their tuna aisles green and ensure only better tuna options are available for their customers.
    •    It’s easier to find eco options at Whole Foods, Choices Markets, Federated Co-operatives, Costco and Overwaitea. It’s harder at Loblaw, Sobeys, Metro, and Walmart, and impossible at Longo’s.

Check out the ranking to see how the most popular brands stack up.

And we have a handy shopping guide! To help tuna lovers make better choices, we have updated what was previously our Tuna Guide app to make it a more easily accessible website version. Our Tuna Guide for Healthier Oceans provides a product-by-product rating for dozens of brands beyond those included in our ranking. Check it out here.

You can continue to push for supermarkets to only source responsibly-caught tuna by choosing better products — or choosing vegan tuna! Check out the ranking now.
