Wild Planet was founded in 2004 by seafood industry veteran Bill Carvalho to realize his vision of bringing the highest environmental standards to the fishing industry. Wild Planet partners with small-scale and community fishermen who use sustainable fishing practices such as 100% pole & line fishing and selective harvesting, ensuring ecologically sound methods as well as supporting the livelihood of coastal communities. The company has been repeatedly recognized by Greenpeace for its procurement policies and practices, and provides guidance for corporate environmental standards at some of the nation’s most influential grocers. Through its portfolio of canned seafood, chicken and beef products, Wild Planet delivers unparalleled taste and nutrition and has become the market leader in sustainable canned tuna.
