Confidence
to trade

Sub title
The Seafood Task Force is the only global trade association where the world’s largest retailers, seafood brands and their seafood partners are working together to drive supply chain oversight and continuous improvement from vessel to plate.

Current members

Additional body

Formed to tackle the issues of human rights, environmental degradation and Illegal, Unreported & Unregulated (IUU) fishing, the Seafood Task Force is driving a comprehensive oversight & continuous improvement programme that uses business leverage to effect positive change in global shrimp and tuna supply chains.

Our programme helps members work together to meet international social and environmental standards. And it helps them comply with international trading legislation and growing due diligence requirements.

The Seafood Task Force is about taking urgent action, not letting perfection get in the way of progress and making things happen.

Hear what our members have to say about STF from across the supply chain.

Ultimately, the Seafood Task Force is creating the conditions for global companies buying shrimp and tuna products to trade with confidence.

“One of the big differences with the STF compared with other alliances is the sheer number of industry players who are a part of it. Other groups are either manufacturer-led, or producer-led, or retailer-led: the Taskforce is everybody coming together.”
