In order to be recognised by the CGF’s Sustainable Supply Chain Initiative, social compliance schemes – and in the future environmental schemes – have to undergo benchmarking according to the SSCI benchmark methodology and provide evidence that all essential social and scheme management benchmark criteria are met.
By joining forces, GSSI and SSCI are able to have a more meaningful impact within the seafood sector, avoiding duplication by building on existing efforts and aligning market expectations towards third-party auditing and certification programmes.
As part of our commitment to providing transparency, SSCI is seeking broad stakeholder input to their first set of Benchmarking Criteria.
