18 Our Sustainable Fishing Policy Sustainable fishing techniques and fisheries 1. Include sustainability of fisheries in the definition of our commercial offer 2. Not sell products from illegal fishing 3. Respect for minimum fish size and proactivity to set more restrictive minimum fish sizes 4. Promote the use of sustainable fishing techniques within our suppliers 5. Promote sustainable certified products for extractive fishing Sustainability in the value chain 6. Promote local fishermen close to our stores 7. Reduce the environmental impact of the distribution activities 8. Select suppliers who fulfill the requirements of ILO convention 188 Transparency and governance 9. Transparent labelling and communication 10. Enhance collaboration and listening of groups of interest 11. Education of consumers on sustainable fishing 12. Develop an efficient governance system to control the fulfillment of this Policy DEPARTAMENTO EROSKI Pág. 18

19 Spanish Market Consumers look for local product, as the nearest is the fresher. The biggest market share is in traditional fish mongers hands. Our market it's fresh fish business, which means that logistics are very tied. The profitability of fish mongers is really low, so we don't have much to invest Spanish consumer has little chance to compete in price with others like for example Japan or Northern Europe Pág. 19

20 Spanish Market We are a strong fishing country and some parts of the chain have historically understood sustainability like a threat to their jobs, because they relate it to reductions in quota and fishing boats number. The Spanish industry is not looking at the local market in terms of sustainability, most changes are done to increase exporting opportunities. So, we have a lack of local products and a high number of certification logos (MSC, ASC, global gap, friends of the sea, Iceland certified, eco labels,...) that are not well known. Pág. 20

21 Sustainability in Eroski In 2013 we did our first steps with MSC certified cod and hake on our fresh fish counters. But our clients showed us a mild response. They liked it, but it wasn't a key factor to decide their purchasing. In 2015 Basque fishermen got certified for anchovy first, and in 2016 for tuna. Pág. 21

22 Sustainability in Eroski This gave us the opportunity to build a solid commercial strategy for sustainability. Now we have tuna, cod, lobster and anchovy on our fresh counters, as well as surimi, salted cod, canned tuna and frozen fish as clams, pangasius (ASC) and hake. Pág. 22

23 Next steps But we have to admit that until now we have taken advantage of what others have build before. Which is small as our range of products it's much wider than the European standard. So what about other main products like squid, octopus, hake, mussels, clams, horse mackerel,... Will we be able to move this fisheries into a sustainable management? Pág. 23

24 We buy al around the world, but seafood sustainability seems to have two different speeds Pág. 24

25 Next steps We still have to do strong campaigns to inform consumers about the need of having a sustainable fishing policy. So they buy sustainable products, and therefore we can maintain our purchasing policy which eventually could lead to a progressive certification of new origins. Pág. 25
