Do GDST KDEs cover labor and human rights issues?

  • POSTED: 10/01/2024
  • AUTHOR: Charlotte Browne

The current list of GDST KDEs focuses specifically on supporting companies in carrying out due diligence as it pertains to Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated (IUU) fishing and ensuring avoidance of sourcing from IUU fisheries. The Standard includes KDEs to reveal whether human welfare policies are in place and subject to audit.
GDST adoption and implementation is a journey that partners and other stakeholders are on, and the Standard is continually evolving through our dialogue process.
