“We’re proud to continue to lead the way in offering sustainable seafood to our customers.
“As the UK’s largest retailer of MSC and Freedom Food fish, we always source food as responsibly as possible.
“At Sainsbury’s we know that customers want the peace of mind that the fish they buy is as sustainable as possible.
“This is why we will continue to boost the amount of MSC certified fish available in our stores.
“With such a stretching target that we have set ourselves by 2020, it’s great to celebrate a landmark such as this.”
