Aquaculture and fisheries
Aquaculture and fisheries industry
Global presence
The fishing industry faces significant environmental and social challenges, including overfishing, poor occupational safety, and threats to marine biodiversity. These issues—combined with the growing impacts of climate change—put the livelihoods and food security of millions who rely on this sector at serious risk.
Certification programmes such as the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC), Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC), Responsible Fishing Vessel Standard (RFVS), and Certified Seafood International (CSI) play a vital role in promoting sustainability in fisheries and aquaculture.
Control Union UK actively supports this global transition by providing expertise and services that support organisations meet these certification standards and adopt more responsible practices.

GLOBALG.A.P.

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.
