Aquaculture and fisheries
Aquaculture and fisheries industry
Global presence
The fishing industry is struggling with environmental and welfare issues, including overfishing and occupational safety. Additionally, climate change, biodiversity loss and overfishing endanger the livelihoods and food security of a large group of people depending on this business.
The fisheries and aquaculture industry becomes more sustainable with certification programs such as MSC and ASC. Control Union Certifications contributes and assists globally.
GLOBALG.A.P.
The GLOBALG.A.P. standard enhances good agricultural practices and reassures consumers about how food is produced on the farm. This is done by minimising the detrimental environmental impacts of farming operations, reducing the use of chemicals and ensuring a responsible approach to worker health and safety and animal welfare.
