RFM Logo

Use of the Certification Logo

The Certified Sustainable Seafood Collaborative RFM Logo is available for those who satisfy the Chain of Custody requirements, and would like to demonstrate traceability and make a certification claim. In contrast to other sustainable seafood certification programs, there is no logo licensing fee for using the RFM logo.

RFM recognizes the power of origin for motivating purchase, which is why a fishery can include it in the RFM logo. Whether it’s Alaska, Washington or any other origin, the RFM logo tells the story consumers desire – to know where their food comes from. Other certification programs don’t include origin in their logos.
