When sourcing, we pay great attention to the selection of certified fish products. Increasing customer demand also shows this is the right decision. Through certification, we can fight against overfishing of the oceans. This is guaranteed by the independent verification of fisheries through external experts based on strict environmental standards. In this way, we proactively secure fish stocks for the future while at the same time offering our guests the opportunity to enjoy the most delicious fish with a clear conscience. Today, we therefore use over 80% certified fish for our products. We carry the following certificates in our retail branches:
