Seafood Supply Chain
Due-diligence and Independent Verification
Import regulations into major markets such as the EU or US are driving the need for greater visibility from catch to plate, yet understanding where and how seafood was caught is very challenging. The seafood supply chain is often at arms length, with illegal fishing, bycatch of endangered species, and labour abuses hidden out of sight. With increasing regulations around financial disclosures and ESG reporting, it is more important than ever that seafood buyers fully understand the provenance of the seafood shipments they purchase.
OceanMind combines satellites and artificial intelligence with extensive fisheries expertise to understand where fishing takes place and whether it is compliant with catch regulations, as well as verifying if supplier claims for catch methods are in line with your responsible sourcing policy.
OceanMind supports seafood buyers by performing independent due-diligence on new suppliers, third party verification of seafood traceability, verifying compliance with responsible buying policies, and ensuring BSI PAS 1550:2017 compliant due diligence process to establish the legal origin of seafood products and marine ingredients.
