California Transparency in Supply Chains Act Disclosure

At Wild Alaskan, we believe in doing business the right way: ethically, responsibly, and in harmony with the natural world. Our commitment doesn’t just stop at compliance with the law, it also means building relationships with suppliers who share our deep commitment to integrity and sustainability—to always do better. Together, our collective actions move us closer to our mission: to accelerate humanity’s transition to sustainable food systems by fostering meaningful connections between people, wild seafood, and the planet.

Our company philosophy is that all products, from seafood to spices to produce, are intentionally sourced, by which we mean obtained in a manner that respects local communities and environments where these goods are harvested or produced. This means prioritizing partners who can provide transparent supply chains, support local economies, and demonstrate sustainable fishing, growing, and logistics practices.

In compliance with the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act of 2010 (SB 657), we are pleased to disclose our efforts to eradicate slavery and human trafficking from our direct supply chains.

1. Verification of Supply Chains

All of our seafood suppliers and the majority of our other suppliers are located within the United States. That said, we only source from suppliers who share our commitment to ethical business practices, including zero tolerance for slavery or human trafficking in any form. Prior to onboarding, all potential suppliers undergo a documented review process to ensure they meet Wild Alaskan’s quality, food safety, and compliance standards. This includes evaluation of supplier documentation, certifications, and risk factors related to products and practices. Broadly speaking, suppliers fall into two categories:

Externally Audited Suppliers
Suppliers holding a current GFSI-benchmarked or equivalent third-party certification are reviewed for certification validity, audit scope, corrective action closure, and relevance to the products supplied. Copies of current certificates and audit reports are required for approval.

Other Suppliers
For suppliers not covered by an external audit, Wild Alaskan performs an internal desk review and/or site assessment to verify compliance. This includes review of:

  • Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and food safety program documentation including Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP), Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) and sanitation practices
  • Product specifications and supporting certificates of analysis
  • Allergen and labeling controls
  • Traceability and recall readiness (lot coding, mock recall capability)
  • Regulatory compliance history (Food and Drug Administration and US Department of Agriculture inspections, warning letters, recalls)
  • Ethical sourcing, sustainability and labor practices

Only suppliers who demonstrate adequate controls are considered eligible to become a Wild Alaskan supplier. All suppliers are required to certify their compliance with Wild Alaskan’s Supplier Code of Conduct (see below).

2. Supplier Audits

Wild Alaskan applies a risk-based approach to supplier oversight, including reserving the right to conduct record and site audits where appropriate and applicable. We rely on third-party certifications such as the Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), which requires regular external audits of supplier facilities, and extensive document review to verify compliance with food safety, labor, and environmental standards.

All externally audited suppliers are required to provide updated documentation on an annual basis to maintain their standing as approved Wild Alaskan suppliers. Other suppliers are periodically assessed by Wild Alaskan’s Food Safety and Quality Assurance (FSQA) team.

3. Supplier Certification

Wild Alaskan requires our suppliers to certify that they comply with applicable labor laws, including laws prohibiting slavery and human trafficking. In particular, in order to onboard as a supplier to Wild Alaskan, each supplier must certify their compliance with our Supplier Code of Conduct, which includes the following:

  • Suppliers must provide a safe and healthy work environment pursuant to applicable laws and regulations, including, without limitation, occupational injury prevention, emergency preparedness and response, occupational safety procedures and systems, and worker health and safety communication.
  • Suppliers must conduct their activities in a manner that respects human rights as set out in The United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In addition, Suppliers must comply with all applicable human rights and labor laws and regulations with regard to Suppliers’ treatment of their employees. These laws and regulations include, without limitation, those relating to anti-discrimination, anti-harassment, fair treatment, prevention of forced or child labor, working hours, minimum wages and benefits, freedom of association, and prevention of any form of physical abuse or intimidation.

4. Internal Accountability

Wild Alaskan’s internal policy prohibits engaging with any supplier found to be in violation of our Supplier Code of Conduct for any reason, including involvement in human trafficking or forced labor. Wild Alaskan reserves the right to terminate relationships with suppliers that fail to uphold the standards outlined in our Supplier Code of Conduct. Employees are expected to uphold the Supplier Code of Conduct and are subject to disciplinary action for violations.

Supplier Code of Conduct Enforcement Policy

Wild Alaskan is committed to upholding the highest standards of ethics, integrity, and sustainability in its supply chain. To that end:
  1. Immediate Suspension
    Any supplier found to be in violation of Wild Alaskan’s Supplier Code of Conduct will have its business relationship with Wild Alaskan immediately suspended pending an assessment of the severity of the noncompliance.
  2. Corrective Action & Reinstatement
    Reinstatement of the business relationship will occur only after:
    • Corrective actions have been completed by the supplier, and
    • Compliance with the Wild Alaskan Supplier Code of Conduct has been independently verified through an external audit.
  3. Employee Responsibility to Report
    All Wild Alaskan employees share the responsibility to promptly report any known or suspected violations of the Supplier Code of Conduct. Reports must be directed to the Senior Vice President of Finance & Business Operations. Knowing failure to report a violation of the Supplier Code of Conduct will result in discipline, up to and including termination of employment.
  4. Recordkeeping
    Record of any reported violations of the Supplier Code of Conduct are maintained in Wild Alaskan’s supplier document management system by the Food Safety and Quality Assurance (FSQA) team for a period of not less than five (5) years.

5. Training

Members of Wild Alaskan’s Supply Chain team (which includes Procurement, Operations, and Food Safety and Quality Assurance functions) receive training on the Wild Alaskan Supplier Code of Conduct, including how to recognize and report signs of forced labor or human trafficking. Training is a mandatory part of team member onboarding and refresher training is completed annually.
