May 18, 2018 — The Global Sustainable Seafood Initiative (GSSI) is collaborating with the Consumer Goods Forum’s Sustainable Supply Chain Initiative in order to create a benchmark and recognition tool for social compliance schemes in the global seafood sector.
The Sustainable Supply Chain Initiative (SSCI) provides auditing and certification of sustainability criteria, with a focus on social issues. It is operated by the Consumer Goods Forum, an industry network encouraging the global adoption of practices and standards for the production of consumer goods.
“We are thrilled to be collaborating with the CGF’s Sustainable Supply Chain Initiative on such an important initiative for the industry. Addressing social compliance has long been on the horizon for GSSI and to do this now with the CGF will deliver great value to the seafood industry,” GSSI Managing Director Herman Wisse said. “Utilizing GSSI’s global partnership to support the development of the SSCI Benchmark Tool for social compliance schemes brings us one step closer to our vision of more sustainable seafood for everyone.”
