Sydney Fish Market is dedicated to the environmental sustainability of all our activities, and the prevention of pollution.

We are certified to the international environmental management standard and undertake annual verification of our greenhouse gas emissions inventory. 

We adhere to a Waste Management Plan to minimise the impact of our site activities and maximise the recycling, repurposing and re-use of all consumables.

Improvements in equipment and practices have significantly reduced the onsite consumption of both water and electricity, and we recycle 125,000 polystyrene boxes per year, rescuing nearly seventy tonnes of EPS from landfill annually.

In addition to these site initiatives, we work with a range of stakeholders to progress best practice environmental management and sustainable practices across the seafood industry, at every stage of seafood production.

Underpinning Sydney Fish Market’s commitment to the ongoing sustainability and viability of the Australian seafood industry, is an equally firm commitment to the individuals and businesses that are part of it.

This includes our tenants and our staff, whose work brings the auction, the site, and our broader industry activities, to life every day. Together, their efforts create the unique, vibrant atmosphere the market is renowned for.

Our market is the lifeblood for fishers and aquaculturists in more than 300 regional communities across Australia, who sell through our wholesale auction or retail outlets. We also have many small businesses, retailers and restaurants which rely upon us for supply.

We actively support them through initiatives which inject value back into their communities, including local area promotions, and the purchase and leasing of fishing quota.

This support extends to our mechanisms of sale and activity, including our Dutch auction which ensures fair market prices are attained at sale, backed by a guaranteed seven day payment system.

Additionally, we support these communities by working with peak bodies, environmental non-government organisations, research organisations and government, to make sure the industry’s interests are represented, both in the media and behind the scenes.

Sydney Fish Market is committed to making quality, fresh and sustainable seafood accessible and attractive to consumers.

We have best practice quality assurance systems in place, which are subject to regular audits against accredited food safety standards.

Our rigorous supply chain traceability system ensures that the seafood we sell can be traced back to its source, giving consumers confidence that the seafood they purchase has been sourced from a sustainable fishery in an environmentally responsible way.

We champion the health benefits of a diet rich in seafood, and educate consumers on its safe storage and preparation through our onsite, online and on-the-road services and activities.

We run tours of our wholesale auction so people can find out where their seafood comes from and understand the lengths we go to ensure it’s safe and of the highest quality. Through our Sydney Seafood School, we offer a huge range of hands-on cooking classes so they can learn how to cook it.

This commitment to the provision of safe and nutritious seafood is what our reputation as Australia’s Home of Seafood is built on.

It’s what drives us to seek improvement in everything we do and it’s what drives our passion for Australian seafood and a viable seafood industry.
