CEO Sustainable Seafood Supplier Roundtable – Participants Log in

 
The Whitefish Sustainable Seafood Supplier Roundtable (SSSR) focuses on monitoring sustainability status and issues of major whitefish fisheries around the world and pushing for improvements where they are needed. SFP’s approach with this project is to convene groups of major suppliers and buyers to engage them across a group of whitefish fisheries of interest to them. The Whitefish SSSR is composed of two main projects: Whitefish CEO Roundtable and Northwest Atlantic Cod Roundtable.
 
The Whitefish CEO Roundtable is principally for the CEOs and sustainability leaders of major supplier companies. It serves an information resource and is an invitation-only meeting and discussion to enable them to:
  • Rapidly overview sustainability issues in the sector
  • Benchmark fishery improvement efforts and exchange lessons learned 
  • Discuss future partnership and cooperation opportunities to improve key fisheries 
  • Anticipate emerging issues, such as benthic habitat impacts and protection needs.
The CEO roundtable continues to be held concurrently with the Groundfish Forum. Please see the presentations at the bottom of this page for past information and advice SFP provided to roundtable participants.
 
The Northwest Atlantic Cod Roundtable brings together whitefish buyers, major suppliers, producers, and other interested parties to discuss cod fisheries in United States and Canadian waters of the Northwest Atlantic Ocean. The objectives of the roundtable are to:
  • Review status of Canadian and US cod stocks
  • Discuss and adopt conditions to reopen closed fisheries and to resume sourcing
  • Share progress of fishery improvement projects (FIPs) underway
  • Motivate industry to initiate FIPs where improvements are still needed. 
The cod roundtable is held as part of the CEO roundtable or concurrently with sessions at major international seafood show. Please see the presentations at the bottom of this page for past information and advice SFP provided to roundtable participants.
