^ªISSF’s AboutSustainableTuna.org “tag,” which leads to a tuna information site for consumers, available in several languages, was created for ISSA member participating companies. They can include the tag on their packaging and/or marketing materials to identify themselves as ISSF participating companies. The tag also helps to dentify them to retailers, who are increasingly including sourcing from ISSA companies in their tuna purchasing specification and sustainability guides.

ISSA member companies may not update, revised or change the AboutSustainableTuna.org tag in any manner without the prior written consent of ISSF. Also, except for the tag and approved translated variants, the use of any ISSF logos, trademarks, service marks, trade names, URLs, or other intellectual property by an ISSA member company, without expressed permission, is prohibited. Additional restrictions and implementation guidelines are detailed in the Tag Agreement.
