Here are details about a webinar that Greg Brown, our Executive Director, is participating in on 20 February.

A partner coalition made of the FAIRR Initiative, WWF US, UNEP FI, Planet Tracker and the World Benchmarking Alliance started a Collaborative Investor Engagement to encourage major seafood companies to develop and implement full-chain, digital and interoperable traceability systems. Such traceability systems are used as a means of identifying and addressing key environmental and social risks – such as illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing, overfishing, habitat conversion and human rights issues – and unlocking sustainable opportunities.
