NGOs issue ‘roadmap’ for improved sustainability in Spanish sector

A coalition of environmental organizations has launched a “roadmap” for the Spanish seafood industry to increase responsible sourcing in its supply chain.

The coalition, which includes ClientEarth, Greenpeace, Oceana, Our Fish, Sustainable Fisheries Partnership and WWF, launched 10 recommendations detailing how companies can address the growing concern about sustainability throughout the supply chain, from source to table.

These include complying with the law — retailers must ensure their supply chain strictly complies with all current legislation — and conducting risk assessments of the environmental, legal and social issues to identify risk areas for illegal, unreported or unregulated (IUU) fish.
