摘要
This report examines the growing complexity of global seafood supply chains and the associated environmental and social risks, including Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) fishing, forced labour, and human rights violations. It highlights the importance of transparency in addressing these issues, emphasising that supply chain traceability is a key tool for improving transparency and reducing risks. The authors analyse the traceability commitments of seven major seafood companies, revealing varying levels of commitment and progress in implementation. The report discusses the challenges faced by companies, such as data gaps, reliance on paper-based systems, and a lack of sector-wide collaboration. It also highlights the increasing importance of traceability in light of new global frameworks and regulations, which require improved supply chain visibility.
