Summary
This report reviews whether labels, certification standards and sourcing codes address the true cost and help empower consumers to leverage their purchases to get what they want. This report undertakes an ecosystem review of online grey literature, open-source website, public media content and discussions with key informant experts to uncover all viable certifications, standards and ratings systems within the fisheries and aquaculture sector. It then benchmarks each of them against 16 subjective human rights KPIs, used as a baseline of best practice. The review finds that there is not enough being done to incorporate human rights considerations into certifications, standards and ratings in fishery and aquaculture supply chains.
