Q. WHAT IS A FORCE FOR CHANGE?
» A Force for Change really encompasses the mindsets that we have instilled across Thai Union. We have come a long way since 2016, and have recognised that small actions can trigger large-scale industry change.
Today we are reaping the benefits from decisions that were made back in 2016. A Force for Change is there to demonstrate the actual impact that our sustainability approach and plan is creating. It’ s creating a force for change across Thai Union’ s operations, for our suppliers we work with, from the vessels and farms that we source from, but also across our customer and retailer base.
