Origin First
Our Chain of Custody certification tells the story of where your seafood comes from, so that it’s traceable through the supply chain back to its harvest origin. We’re the only certification program that provide the ability to include harvest origin on its ecolabel.
RFM Corporate Ecolabel CSI Corporate Ecolabel
For consistency in the market, CSI has adopted the look and color scheme of the RFM program ecolabel.
ORIGIN ECOLABELS are customized to include origin. As new fisheries achieve CSI certification, we will develop an origin ecolabel for each fishery’s harvest origin.
NON-ORGIN ECOLABEL CSI chain of custody clients that choose not to include harvest origin on the ecolabel may use the non-origin version. This ecolabel may also be most appropriate for use on small packages. We highly encourage including origin when practical.
RFM clients who utilize the RFM ecolabel will be free to use up existing RFM labels in stock. We’ll provide artwork and specifications for CSI ecolabel usage for new label orders.
The CSI ecolabel is available for those who satisfy the Chain of Custody requirements, and would like to demonstrate traceability and make a certification claim. The CSI ecolabel is only released to organizations or individuals that have completed the Chain of Custody audit process and have a written agreement with CSI. Unauthorized use is prohibited and will be treated as a trademark breach.
The purpose of the certification ecolabel is to demonstrate to buyers and consumers of that those seafood products originate from certified responsible fisheries.
