Fisheries (-FI) – The Growing Pressure for Ethical & Sustainable Seafood
The Industry’s Growing Challenge
The fisheries sector is under intense scrutiny from governments, international regulators, and major seafood buyers. Sustainability, human rights, and ethical recruitment are now mandatory, not optional.
Why Companies Are Being Forced to Change:
- Global regulations on Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) fishing require proof of sustainable practices and ethical labor conditions.
- Retailers and food service companies require verified ESG compliance before purchasing seafood.
- The EU, US, and other markets are banning imports linked to forced labor or human rights violations.
Failure to comply means:
- Exclusion from major supply chains.
- Loss of market access due to IUU fishing and forced labor concerns.
- Risk of legal actions and financial penalties from authorities.
