EPAX AS, Aalesund, Norway, has received this year’s Friend of the Sea (FOS) Award in the omega 3 category. The recognition is largely the result of EPAX’s commitment to source from approved, sustainable fisheries and its marketing and communications efforts informing customers about the importance of sustainable and traceable certification. Additionally, as part of its internal environmental initiative, EcoVision, EPAX manufactures and distributes its marine-derived oils with minimal environmental impact. EPAX received Friend of the Sea certification in 2009 for its sustainable and traceable marine sourcing and production methods.
