ClientEarth, Icelandic UK, Waitrose, Marks and Spencer, Young’s, BirdsEye Iglo, and FishFight founded the Sustainable Seafood Coalition in 2011. The SSC has since grown significantly, representing all sectors of the seafood supply chain.

We hold members’ meetings several times a year. Members’ priorities and topics brought forward for discussion define our agenda, and align with our aims.
Where more detailed member engagement is required, we form working groups. We invite relevant experts to these meetings to provide technical advice.
