Our Commitment

We're committed to a sustainable seafood future

At John West, we recognise that as the largest branded supplier of seafood products in Australia, we need to take an active role in safeguarding our ocean’s resources and the wellbeing of coastal communities who depend on them for their livelihood. This is why we are working with our suppliers and industry partners to ensure that our ocean’s resources remain healthy and productive for generations to come.


From December 2015, John West has moved its entire range of purse seine caught skipjack tuna to become Marine Stewardship Council Certified (MSC) - the world's best standard in sustainability. Now, more than ever, you can be sure when you choose John West MSC certified tuna you are making a choice that will help ensure we have healthy oceans forever.

The John West Conservation Program

More sustainable fishing across the Pacific.

Over the past 3 years we've invested over $700,000 to establish The John West Conservation Program – a series of WWF marine conservation projects aimed at creating more responsibly sourced seafood, sustainable fisheries and improve the social and economic well-being of fishing communities. Over the next 2 years John West will continue this program. Your choice will help us reach $1 million for WWF by the end of 2017. By choosing John West you’re helping to support Pacific Island conservation projects, working to provide coastal communities access to a secure source of food and income, while protecting reefs and local resources for the future.
