We take the trust that customers and partners place in us very seriously. Rest assured that you can have confidence in our proven track record for timely delivery of high-quality products around the world.
Taking Sustainability Seriously
Eager in our support of the UN’s Sustainable Development goals, we are keen to be at the forefront of positive change within the seafood industry, with specific regard to goals 12, 13 and 14, as outlined here: Sustainability Goals.
We continually strive to reduce our carbon footprint by participating in recycling initiatives, actively reducing our waste and working with outside organisations to source eco-friendly packaging. We are committed to taking an innovative approach in order to tackle pressing issues like overfishing, which is why we have partnered with Norcod cod farm, who provide a cutting-edge solution to the matter of dwindling numbers of wild cod.
Frozen at Sea
Not only does frozen seafood offer better value for money, it also plays a huge part in the reduction of food waste.
Buying frozen doesn’t mean compromising on the quality either. In fact, freezing locks in nutrition and products are produced with less additives, making frozen seafood a healthier and more sustainable alternative.
Supporting Our Community
With offices based in the North of England, our close-knit team are true community champions passionate about supporting various local charities and carrying out volunteering endeavours.
Standing for Human Rights
At Maris Seafoods, we are committed to protecting human rights within our operations and throughout our supply chain. For more details, please see our Human Rights Policy.
Human rights violations or mistreatment of our employees or individuals within our wider supply chain are taken extremely seriously. Please visit our Speak Up page for information on how to report a concern.
Taking Pride In Our Products
Mutually beneficial partnerships with trusted suppliers allows for us to ensure that our nutritious, additive free products are of the highest possible quality. Our certifications are outlined below.

BRCGS

Diversity, Justice, Equality and Inclusion
At Maris seafoods, we are committed to creating a fair, inclusive and respectful environment where everyone has equal opportunity to succeed. We believe that diversity strengthens our business and enables us to better serve our customers, parteners and communities. Our approach to Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) is reflected in the following commitments:
Women make up over half our workforce, and as signatories of the UN Women’s empowerment principles (WEPs), we are dedicated to advancing gender equality and supporting the progression of women at all levels of our organisation. We use the WEPs as a framework to guide our actions and measure our progress.
We are committed to fairness and equity in how we recruit, develop, and promote our people. In our recruitment policies and guidance, we ensure that recruitment processes are fair, transparent, and free from bias, enabling equal access to opportunities for all candidates.
We are also focused on strengthening inclusive leadership across our business. Through regular training and development, we will equip our managers with the knowledge and skills needed to support diverse teams and create an environment of respect and inclusion.
As part of the global seafood industry, we recognise our responsibility to promote ethical, inclusive, and respectful practices across our operations, supply chains, and partnerships. We commit to gathering information on how diversity, equity, and inclusion principles are upheld by our suppliers and identify areas for continuous improvement.
We will continue to listen, learn, and evolve, ensuring that equality, diversity, and inclusion are considered in everything we do and reflected in the impact we make.
We are proud to announce that Maris Seafoods has just achieved operational carbon neutrality! This is a major accomplishment and reflects our dedication to reducing our environmental impact.
What this means is that we have taken significant steps to measure, reduce, and offset our carbon emissions from all of our operations and activities. We understand the importance of taking responsibility for our impact on the planet, and we have worked hard to reduce our carbon footprint as much as possible.
Through a combination of energy-efficient practices, sustainable sourcing, and offsetting measures, we have been able to achieve this goal. We are excited to continue our sustainability journey and inspire others to take action towards a more sustainable future.
