2021 Seafood Stewardship Index

Our second assessment shows that most companies recognise their social and environmental responsibilities, but few have turned those into action. The results indicate that, although many of the companies have taken some steps, it may not be sufficient and fast enough. For those companies that have taken steps and report progress, these are primarily focused on environmental impacts. Although we found improvements in companies’ commitment to traceability, there is lack of disclosure on how companies are currently performing in terms of improving supply chain visibility, Without clear oversight of supply chains, social and environmental progress in the seafood industry will continue to be hampered. With less than a decade left to achieve the SDG 2030 agenda, now is the time for the seafood industry to work with governments and all its stakeholders to deliver and realise its full potential.

2019 Seafood Stewardship Index

In 2019 we published the first Seafood Stewardship Index. Our 2019 assessment of 30 of the largest seafood companies underlines that urgent steps need to be taken. The future long-term sustainability of the seafood industry is being hampered by a lack of oversight of operations and supply chains impacting for example, measures to tackle IUU fishing, protect ecosystems and respecting human rights and working conditions.
