Industry Leadership

Global alignment and targets

To work together toward sustainable seafood, we need shared goals.

SFP is working toward a world of 100% sustainable seafood. We stand by this ambitious goal. But we also recognize that achieving large-scale change and momentum requires stakeholders to come together and agree on language, standards, and definitions of sustainability.

SFP launched the Target 75 (T75) initiative in 2017, as a dedicated and concrete benchmark on the way to our ultimate goal.

T75 aims to ensure that 75 percent of seafood (by volume) in 13 key sectors is either sustainable or making regular, verifiable improvements. Together, the T75 sectors cover most of the main types of seafood consumed in North America and Europe, and a significant portion of what is consumed in Japan. See more information on the current sectors and their definitions.

Industry Leadership of T75

From the beginning, the seafood industry welcomed T75 as a useful framework for establishing their sustainability goals and focusing their efforts. What began as an NGO-led initiative has evolved into a framework, guiding industry-led dialogues, policies, commitments, and progress throughout the sustainable seafood movement.

As T75 has evolved, so has our approach to goal setting.

“SFP’s Target 75 initiative provides concrete improvement goals in key sectors, allowing us to focus our sustainability efforts and work together toward a future of sustainable seafood and healthy oceans.”

– Rob Johnson, Managing Director, Sea Pact

T75 Tools & Publications

SFP’s science team has assembled a set of resources to help stakeholders understand the current sustainability of the T75 sectors, identify fisheries to target for improvement, and make informed seafood purchasing decisions.

T75 Tools & Publications

“Before T75, Publix focused on our own supply chain and sustainability goals. Now, with T75, we’re looking at the bigger picture, seeing the need for sustainability beyond ourselves, and we’re re-energized to focus on improving fisheries at a global scale.”

–  Guy Pizzuti, category manager, seafood, Publix
