GOED Unveils New Sustainability Portal for Omega-3 Industry

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – June 11, 2025

The Global Organization for EPA and DHA Omega-3s (GOED) has launched a new educational portal on its website, highlighting the sustainability posture of all sources involved in the global EPA and DHA omega-3 category.

The portal is designed to serve as a comprehensive resource for consumers, industry professionals, financial analysts, regulators and NGOs, offering transparency into the current sustainability status of the omega-3 sector. Topics include:

  • What does “sustainable” mean in today’s omega-3 industry?
  • The breadth and complexity of the EPA+DHA supply chain
  • Sustainability by omega-3 source (e.g., fish, krill, algae)
  • GOED’s role in the omega-3 industry’s sustainability progress.


This initiative summarizes five years of GOED’s strategic work, focused on two main goals: (1) benchmarking the sustainability performance of the omega-3 industry and (2) identifying practical ways GOED can foster continuous improvement across its global membership.

“Stakeholders worldwide are asking tougher questions about the environmental and social costs of production — and omega-3s are no exception,” commented GOED’s Director of Sustainability and Market Intelligence Chris Gearheart. “This portal showcases the omega-3 industry’s longstanding commitment to evidence-based research, responsible practices and leadership. We invite the broader supplement industry to use this portal to spark new conversations about what sustainability looks like in the nutrition space.”
