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 organization.
MSC Fisheries

Providing proof of sustainable operations demonstrates good resource stewardship to environmentally conscious consumers and stakeholders.
MSC Supply Chain
Supply chain certification against the MSC Chain of Custody Standard enables you to use the MSC eco-label on your product packing. This sends a strong signal to environmentally conscious consumers – a signal that says your seafood product originated from an MSC certified sustainable fishery.
