The impacts of climate change have become startlingly apparent in the past 10 years, with the world population set to increase from 7 billion to 9 billion in the next 40 years.
The company recognises sustainability as defined in the UN World Commission on Environment and Development in 1987 "development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs".
The consequences for our business include threats to our agricultural supply chain, rising energy costs and greater water scarcity.
Sustainable Fish
Sustainability of the world's marine wildlife is critical. Ward Industries promotes sustainable fishery practices and ensure the fish we supply comes from a sustainable source and has been caught using responsible methods.
- Only using fish from 100% sustainable wild catch and sustainable aquaculture sources
- Replacing all wild catch whole fish and fish fillet with sustainable fish by-products and sustainable aquaculture.

Water
The scarcity of water is becoming a major concern around the world. Ward Industries actively pursue ways of improving water efficiency throughout the supply chain. One of the ways we have reduced our water footprint is by installing rain water harvesting units at our Monaghan offices.
Packaging
The environmental impacts of packaging are immense both in terms of the resources used in its production and its contribution to waste. We work with our partners, suppliers and customers to reduce packaging; currently 80% of the products we supply require zero packaging.
