The Sustainable Seafood Coalition is a partnership of UK businesses. Since 2011, we have been working to ensure a healthy future for our oceans. Our vision is that all seafood sold in the UK comes from sustainable sources.
It is the responsibility of all businesses to support sustainable seafood
You have a duty to source seafood responsibly – it makes good business sense. Supply chain buyers have tremendous leverage to set and promote new norms.
Many businesses claim their seafood products are ‘sustainably or responsibly sourced’. Before the SSC labeling code, there was little clarity on what these claims meant. The SSC helps to establish consistency on labeling and sourcing within the seafood supply chain.
Our members are driving real change
We confront problems head on and aim to influence changes in supply chain practice.
The SSC is not a certification scheme or an eco-label. Instead, it offers a practical and collaborative way of demonstrating good sourcing practices.
Better buying decisions mean healthier seas
As a member, you commit to two codes – the Responsible Sourcing Code and the Environmental Labelling Code. These codes set a benchmark for industry best practice. Whether you’re a small supplier, a restaurant, or a supermarket, you can provide your customers with accurate information and the confidence to make the right choices.
We believe we can do better together
Our coalition provides a space for different businesses to come together to find solutions to shared challenges. All members have an equal seat at the table. As a group, our collective leverage helps drive the seafood sustainability agenda.
