What roles do WWF and IFT play in the GDST now?

WWF and the IFT’s GFTC are distinct organizations with different missions, but they share a strong desire to promote full-chain seafood traceability. Working together through a series of preparatory workshops around the world, they refined the vision for the GDST, in consultation with seafood industry leaders. Although preparations for the first ‘Global Dialogue’ were organized by WWF and IFT’s GFTC initially, the GDST is now a standalone, permanent platform – with a dedicated team and leadership structure, and year-round engagement with the supply chain, going beyond the Dialogue meetings.
