The HKSSC offers a practical and collaborative way to demonstrate good sourcing practices by its members committing to voluntary codes on responsible seafood sourcing.

Buyers and sellers come together to find solutions to shared challenges. HKSSC members drive the agenda with the support of a Secretariat. Expert groups are engaged to ensure sourcing practices tackle pressing issues such as illegal, unregulated and unreported (IUU) fishing, overfishing, traceability, harmful fish farming practices and risks to human health.

Region:
  • Eastern Asia
  • Hong Kong
Harvest:
  • Aquaculture
  • Wild-capture
Social Responsibility: Although primarily focused on biological sustainability, HKSSC works to raise awareness of social issues in seafood supply chains. In recent times it has ran a series of webinars with leading industry voices to help the local industry to better understand how sourcing affects individuals closest to the source of seafood production.
