They’re looking for pledges from companies not to serve sharks fins at their functions.

Of the many companies who support our little campaign, special thanks go out to Maersk Line & Maersk Logistics (Maersk Malaysia Sdn Bhd) who got everything off to a rolling start by being the very first company to sign on. Kudos also to our first resort Japamala Resort, Tioman Island and first restaurant Tamarind Springs, Kuala Lumpur who have declared that they have never ever served shark’s fin soup and never intend to.

All you need to do is to state on company letterhead that “(your company name) pledges not to serve shark’s fin soup at any of our company dinners, functions or events.” Have it signed and chopped and then fax it to Serina (MNS Marine SIG, Selangor Branch) at +603-22878773.

In return, we’ll send you a certificate and a note of thanks and we will publicise your commitment in 2008. (Do include a contact name and address so that we can send these to you!) For once, we’re not asking you for money, we’re asking you to commit to NOT spending money… on shark fins!!
