Seafood

​The demand for seafood is growing. While the production of captured fish has stabilized, aquaculture is the world’s fastest growing food production category. Producers and other players in the value chain need confirmation of safe and responsible practices in resource management and seafood production.

Purpose

​Consumers and stakeholders expect seafood to be safe and to be responsibly sourced, whether live catch or farmed. Certification according to accredited standards provides verification of responsible practices.

Benefits

​Both fisheries and aquaculture face specific risks related to food safety and sustainable practices. Managing their risks will help demonstrate to consumer, business partners and society at large that you work to ensure a responsible sourcing/production. It can help improve market access as you meet customer demands for supplier verification and overall it improves processes within your own organisation.
MSC Chain of Custody Standard
​Certification to the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) Chain of Custody Standard enables you to demonstrate to costumers that your seafood originates from an MSC certified sustainable fishery.
 MSC Principles and Criteria for Sustainable Fishing ​The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) Principles and Criteria for Sustainable Fishing is a standard ensuring that a fishery is well managed and responsibly harvested to sustain the target fishery and the surrounding marine environment. Certification to this standard demonstrates commitment to sustainable practices and results in recognition in the market. Environmental Management ​​Increased focus on sustainable development gives environmentally credible companies a competitive edge in national and international markets. A certified environmental management system proves that your business is taking active steps to fulfil your responsibilities.​ Food Safety ​Incorporating a food or feed safety management system puts you ahead by changing your company’s approach from a reactive to a proactive way of thinking. Consumers demand that what they eat and drink is safe, and they hold retailers responsible for any failures. Food quality, safety and sustainable practices begin at the farm. Retailers therefore need to systematically address food safety in every step to prevent failures. GLOBALG.A.P. IFA – Aquaculture ​Food safety, as well as environmental protection, starts with primary production. GLOBALG.A.P. IFA – Aquaculture is the globally recognised standard specifically designed for aquaculture.
