Sea Pact and Seafood Legacy Announce Collaboration
Sea Pact and Seafood Legacy are excited to announce a collaboration to support the design and development of a pre-competitive collaboration for Japan's seafood industry that further enables collective industry engagement in sustainability issues. Over the course of Sea Pact's nine year history, the organization has accumulated knowledge and approaches that have resulted in an effective and impactful industry-led collaborative model that includes project funding and collective industry action for addressing seafood sustainability. Seafood Legacy is interested in how a Sea Pact-type model can be designed and adopted by several key Japanese seafood industry partners in a manner of creating synergy with the Japan Responsible Seafood Roundtable, a pre-competitive business platform that Seafood Legacy is preparing to launch with the market leaders.
Through the collaboration, Sea Pact will share relevant information and lessons learned from its own model with Seafood Legacy and Japanese seafood industry members to support their efforts to establish a pre-competitive collaborative entity in Japan. Sea Pact, Seafood Legacy and participating industry members will also jointly identify areas of alignment on sustainability priorities and goals that will be the focus of further cooperation between Sea Pact and the forthcoming collaboration in Japan. Sea Pact and Seafood Legacy's recently signed memorandum of understanding includes additional details on the collaboration.
Sea Pact aims to establish similar collaborations with stakeholders in other markets to enable mid-supply chain companies across the globe to collaborate and address broad sustainability challenges.
