The Food Marketing Institute (FMI) announced that it is developing guidelines, best practices, case studies and other resources to help the supermarket industry address seafood sustainability issues.
FMI is taking a series of actions to promote seafood sustainability:
*Its Sustainability Task Force formed a working group to identify issues that can be resolved on an industrywide basis. This group is consulting with the Conservation Alliance for Seafood Solutions, composed of the world’s leading environmental organizations and is developing guidelines to help companies create seafood sustainability programs.
*The FMI Sustainable Seafood Working Group is gathering case studies of retailer best practices, including initiatives certified by independent agencies and developed with non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
*The FMI Sustainable Seafood Working Group is also compiling a list of experts, certification and auditing bodies, government agencies, NGOs and other resources with whom retailers can consult.
The resource list is posted on the FMI website at www.fmi.org/sustainability
