Industry Leadership
Seafood Suppliers
Seafood suppliers provide an important link between producers and buyers.
By ensuring that responsible standards and practices are maintained throughout the seafood production process, suppliers can keep the sustainability conversation going from the boardroom to the boat and back again.
SFP asks suppliers to help lead and support positive change in fisheries and aquaculture through improvement projects, pre-competitive collaborations, and other forums.

Supporting and implementing responsible practices is not just good for fisheries, ecosystems, and communities. It is also good for business. Complying with sustainability standards and expectations will help you maintain market access from buyers who demand sustainability and open up new markets.
