GLOBALG.A.P. Public Consultation
GlobalG.A.P.’s aquaculture standard received its first recognition from GSSI in 2018 under the GSSI Global Benchmark Tool version 1.0. GlobalG.A.P. is now undergoing a benchmarking process for its Integrated Farm Assurance Aquaculture (v 6.1) to be recognised under the Global Benchmark Tool version 2.0.
GSSI is committed to a transparent benchmark process with opportunities for engagement. That is why we are welcoming comments from the public on GlobalG.A.P. benchmarking process. You are encouraged to submit any comments using the form linked below.
After the closing of the Public Consultation (30-days), the Independent Experts and Benchmark Committee will review all the received comments. Following careful review, a final recommendation on recognition will be provided to the GSSI Steering Board. The Public Consultation comments will be made publicly available after the final decision on continued recognition.
