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.
