The National Fisheries Institute’s (NFI) Crab Council is being recognized by the United Nations Global Compact for its industry-led sustainability programs.
Throughout five southeast Asian nations, the NFI supports Fisheries Improvement Plans (FIPs) aimed at improving the blue swimming crab resources and bringing effective management to the fishery.
The UN Global Compact is highlighting, “examples of global industry associations promoting sustainable development around the world.”
The UN publication Scaling Up Sustainability Collaboration: Contributions of Business Associations and Sector Initiatives to Sustainable Development is designed as a tool for other industry associations across multiple sectors to help establish goals and spur coordination with stakeholders.
