On July 2nd and 3rd, the ALDI SÜD Group hosted a meeting in Salzburg, Austria for their sustainability partners to come together and discuss the current fish and seafood challenges and share actions and efforts for the construction of a more sustainable sector.
This two-day event brought together esteemed partners, including Sustainable Fisheries Partnership (SFP), the Global Tuna Alliance (GTA), International Seafood Sustainability Foundation (ISSF) and the certification bodies Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC), GlobalG.A.P. and Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP). It was designed to chart the future direction of this sector according to the ALDI Nord and ALDI SÜD Group respective visions to support more sustainable fish and seafood supply chains.
Engaging and productive workshops allowed participants to identify the highest risks and opportunities within ALDI's supply chains. Attendees provided invaluable insights and suggestions for enhancing and expanding ALDI's responsibly sourced seafood range, moving closer to the critical objective of eradicating illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing within the supply chain.
