The fisheries and aquaculture facilities we work with are monitored and upheld to the MSC and ASC\u2019s rigorous sustainability standards, with certified products frequently undergoing quality and safety controls as part of the certification process. Independent assessments are carried out by third party auditors who evaluate fisheries and farms against strict criteria, ensuring compliance with sustainability standards. Additionally, both organisations engage with stakeholders, including NGOs, industry experts and local communities to continuously improve their standards and certification processes, enhancing consumer trust in the certification system.
