1 Human Rights Risk Tool for Seafood Helen Duggan, Head of Responsible Sourcing, Seafish

2 Seafood Human Rights Risk Tool Collaboration to develop one risk assessment approach Identify and assess the risk of human rights abuses in fisheries worldwide Produce risk ratings of human rights abuses by country and fishery Direct users to TESS to inform businesses on how to mitigate and engage

3 The Concept KEY Fishery Level Country Level Fishery or Country Critical High Medium Evidence of mitigation / additional information Low

4 What will a Fishery Profile feature? Scope of fishery; broad overview providing an executive summary; risk rating including citations of all information used Mitigation measures; potential to downgrade a high or medium risk rating to low (e.g. RFS / Fairtrade USA) Much information at country level website development work will consider how best to maximise accessibility Only information/evidence from authoritative, credible, transparent, verifiable sources will be used

5 Progress to date Risk assessment methodology finalised, incorporating feedback from peer review; expert in human rights contracted to develop profiles (target 24 by Spring 2018) Barents Sea Cod Working Group formed to provide feedback against first updated pilot Fishery Profile, currently being reviewed and incorporated where appropriate Website in development to house the database; peer review of partially populated prototype planned by September

6 Priorities for 2017/18 Launch tool that provides an evidence-based risk evaluation for the at-sea sector of the seafood supply chain Incorporate feedback from SFP/SFW business partners, the SECLG and the RASS Steering Group to ensure the open access website is fit for purpose and available by 2018 Establish governance and quality management processes to ensure credibility and scalability Secure funding to ensure longevity

7 Seafish Responsible Fishing Scheme (RFS) update Libby Woodhatch, Head of Advocacy,

8 UK RFS Membership- catching sector 142 vessels engaged, inlcuding 90 vessels fully certified Scotland 70 vessels (44 certified) England 68 vessels (43 certified) Wales 2 vessels (1 certified) Northern Ireland 2 vessels (2 certified) Non certified -1 in technical review 18 pending audits, remainder to be arranged. Orkney 16 additional vessels trialing group methodology (application to RFS & cert likely autumn 2017)

9 July 2017 Scottish Whitefish Fleet Adoption Curve Estimated 99 active >10m vessels landing around 10% of the total fleet volume (2016) 30 of these are RFS Members as at end June 2017 (plus 9 further vessels engaged) 3 vessels 13 vessels 34 vessels 34 vessels 16 vessels The Rogers innovation adoption curve is a model that classifies adopters of innovations into various categories, based on the idea that certain individuals are inevitably more open to adaptation than others.

10 Supply Chain Supporters We have committed to incorporating the Responsible Fishing Scheme certification into our sourcing policies

11 March 2017 Seafish Board confirmed next steps Commitment to make RFS a global scheme focused on socially responsible fishing Appoint RFS International Working Group Conduct international fisheries pilots Proposals for revision of standard and audit methodology Design new RFS NewOrg governance structure Initiating the process of commissioning an entity to run, manage & govern RFS on a global scale
