Forever Fish Campaign at Marks & Spencer.

At M&S, we’ve already had a sustainable fishing policy for 12 years and now we’re taking it even further, with our Forever Fish campaign. Over 90% of all the wild fish we sell comes from the most sustainable sources available to us, such as those certified by the Marine Stewardship Council, and we’re working with WWF to ensure that all our other fisheries will have the most sustainable practices in place too. Through partnerships with WWF and the Marine Conservation Society plus special education programmes, the plan is to take the lead in protecting our sea life and beaches.

Please support M&S, WWF & the MCS

HUGE congratulations to M&S, the Marine Conservation Society and everyone who took part - making a REAL difference!

Over 6,000 M&S customers and employees cleaned over 100 beaches and canals up and down the country in the first ever M&S Big Beach Clean-up, organised by the Marine Conservation Society.

The M&S Big Beach Clean-up is part of Forever Fish, M&S’ campaign to help customers and their children learn more about fish, clean our British beaches and protect UK marine life. It is funded by the 5p carrier bag charge in M&S foodhalls. Since its introduction in 2008, the charge has reduced carrier bag use by 80 per cent and raised over £4 million for charity.
