Seafood2030 Forum: Designing Responsible Supply Chains: Tuna and Squid
The Seafood2030 Forum takes on Designing Responsible Supply Chains: Tuna and Squid, two of the most scrutinized species in global seafood. Expect practical discussion on traceability, risk, and what buyers and regulators are demanding now.
Attendance is free.
The harvesting and supply chains for tuna and squid are very dynamic businesses to be in right now, but for different reasons.
Tuna is a sector with significant investment in responsible fisheries and supply chain management from industry and civil society that has produced innovative models, industry intelligence on risk and responses, and coordination of efforts resulting in an ecosystem of tools and programs designed to help companies access and deliver responsible tuna. In panel 1, leading tuna companies will discuss how they navigate and leverage these efforts to help their company succeed.
Squid is increasingly under the microscope as concerns about harvesting and labor practices grow in the media and with buyers and consumers. While there are several ongoing industry and NGO efforts in the squid sector, the landscape of responsible solutions is less robust. In Panel 2, companies working in squid supply chains will share where progress is being made where risk is accumulating and how these companies are navigating the changing narratives, regulations, and market preferences around squid.
