◾️Objectives
The Roundtable pursues the following three objectives to drive practical action among participating companies:
Ensure consistency in human rights due diligence systems and practices, establishing an effective framework for collaboration to maximize impact on priority social issues.
Ensure consistency in environmental due diligence systems and practices, fostering objective and effective collaboration that generates tangible improvements in environmental outcomes.
Jointly address challenges necessary to ensure transparent, interoperable seafood traceability in line with international standards.
Through these efforts, participating companies will promote the implementation of their procurement policies, foster the adoption of responsible sourcing practices within Japan’s seafood industry, and contribute to solving global challenges in step with international initiatives.
