The Future of Sustainable Seafood Commitments: Learning Lessons and Leveraging Opportunities

As our community looks to establish the next generation of sustainable seafood commitments, it is critical to understand the barriers that companies have faced when implementing sustainability programs. Over the past year, FishWise interviewed companies to unpack the unique challenges they encountered on their sustainability journey. During this talk, FishWise will present our research findings and highlight factors that are critical for meeting sustainability goals, as well as opportunities for the industry and NGO community.
