GDST SUPPORT FOR THE SANFORD CENTRE

GDST SUPPORT FOR THE SANFORD CENTRE

GDST support for the Sanford Centre. The GDST have agreed to support the Stanford Centre for Ocean Solutions and their request for a wider audience to complete a brief survey on IUU Fishing Traceability.

This anonymous and brief survey aims to collect data on the methods and tools your company employs for traceability and combating IUU fishing, as well as identifying any barriers you face. The survey is part of the Supply Chain Risk Project, a collaboration among Stanford Centre for Ocean Solutions, FishWise, Global Fishing Watch, and Friends of Ocean Action.

 

The survey is comprised of 7 questions and should take approximately 15 minutes to complete. The anonymous responses will be aggregated and included in a public report used to showcase industry and government’s interaction with vessel level information and its importance. The survey will close end of day October 2, at 12 pm Pacific time. GDST apologise for the late notice and hope you will take the time to contribute.

Thank you very much for your time and attention.

About the GDST

The GDST is an international, business-to-business platform established in 2017 to create the first-ever global industry standards for seafood traceability. More than 60 companies and associations participated in the GDST’sconsensus-based drafting process, with strong participation from around the world, across the supply chain, and at all enterprise sizes. The GDST was convened and facilitated by World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and the Institute of Food Technologists (IFT). The Dialogue was initially organised around a structure and an agenda stemming from a dozen preparatory workshops in Asia, Europe, and North America. With three technical working groups, the pre-competitive Dialogue aimed to produce an aligned global framework for seafood traceability based on four pillars:

  1. Internationally agreed key data elements (KDEs) to be routinely associated with seafood products
  2. Technical specifications for interoperable traceability systems, along with standard legal and business formats facilitating business-to-business information exchange
  3. Internationally agreed on benchmarks for verifying data validity
  4. Harmonisation of business-smart national regulations to help reduce compliance burdens
