While the organization, the Global Sustainable Seafood Initiative (GSSI), is still in its formative phase, it has continued to draw widespread attention since the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) welcomed it onto the scene in September.
Retailers Sobeys, Loblaws, Sainsbury’s, Morrison’s and Metro have already signed a letter of intent to participate, as have top seafood suppliers Bumble Bee Foods, Icelandic Group, Trident Seafoods, Marine Harvest Seafood and Gorton’s.
