Dear Sir/ Madam, I am contacting you to raise my profound concerns about the ecological and social impacts of shrimp production and to find out about your shrimp sourcing policies. I have recently become aware that shrimp production methods - whether trawled from the ocean or farmed in saltwater ponds - can be the cause of devastation and conflict in producing countries. As a regular customer I believe that you should refuse to sell shrimp which may have been the cause of environmental degradation, violence or murder, and request that you actively seek ecologically sustainable, ethically produced shrimp sources. I trust that as a responsible market leader you are conducting an immediate and detailed investigation into your source of shrimp, and its environmental, economic and social impact on communities in producing countries. I request clear reassurance that the shrimp I buy are environmentally-friendly and that their production has not had negative impacts on the lives and livelihoods of poor people in developing countries. I would be grateful if you could respond to this enquiry with information on actions you are taking to address these issues, and how you are fulfilling your responsibility to source your shrimp and prawn products in a responsible and sustainable manner. I look forward to receiving your comments. Yours sincerely,
