The Global Sustainable Seafood Initiative welcomes Global Tuna Alliance to its Global Partnership

The Global Sustainable Seafood Initiative has announced that the Global Tuna Alliance has joined GSSI as an Affiliated Partner.
 

The Global Tuna Alliance is an independent group of retailers and tuna supply chain companies, who are committed to realising harvest strategies for tuna fisheries, avoidance of IUU products, improved traceability as well as environmental sustainability, and progressing work on human rights in tuna fisheries and implementing the objectives laid out in the World Economic Forum's Tuna 2020 Traceability Declaration.

"The Global Tuna Alliance is excited to become an affiliated partner of GSSI. We are already aligned through our 5-year strategy; GTA Partners are publicly committing to sourcing 100 percent of tuna products from fisheries with a GSSI-recognised certification, or on a pathway to sustainability. Both organisations have a shared ambition of seeing comprehensive harvest strategies adopted, and we look forward to GSSI Partners supporting our advocacy around this goal for tuna fisheries," says Dr Tom Pickerell, Executive Director of the Global Tuna Alliance.
