Is the GDST a campaigning organization, or a coalition of campaigning organizations?

No, the GDST is not a campaign body and it wasn’t set up for advocacy purposes. It is a non-profit foundation offering a business-to-business platform, facilitating pre-competitive discussions (through Dialogues) that are focused on voluntary measures to drive interoperable digital traceability within seafood supply chains.
Since 2022, the GDST has been part of the seafood industry meta-coalition – joining the Global Tuna Alliance (GTA), International Seafood Sustainability Foundation (ISSF), SeaBOS, SeaPact, and the Global Sustainable Seafood Initiative (GSSI). Through this coalition, we carry out and support government advocacy in support of greater traceability and transparency in seafood supply chains.
