NECS is proud to announce that we have officially been awarded the international MSC-ASC Chain of Custody certification – a significant milestone affirming our capability to manage and preserve a sustainable seafood supply chain with full transparency and traceability.

MSC (Marine Stewardship Council): Certification for seafood sourced from sustainable fisheries, ensuring the protection of marine ecosystems.

Accurately labeled and fully traceable from receipt to delivery
