Why?

 

Social compliance in the seafood supply chain is rapidly emerging and somehow new. Few experiences have built limited expertise in social compliance for the specificities of the seafood supply chain social.

​

To foster improvement in social, labor and human rights compliance the seafood supply chain, social benchmarking shall be developed to fit aquaculture farms and boats’ needs; relevant indicators have to be identified and accordingly, new tools for social monitoring shall be designed.

 

This is what this expert group is after: Exploring digital social monitoring solutions to foster social and labor improvement in the seafood supply chain. The expert group is dedicated toward doing that in:  scoping “social” compliance for the seafood supply chain risk monitoring; Identifying the relevant indicators for each of the areas under compliance;  Develop appropriate metrics to enable digital monitoring;  Co-design and trial of digital monitoring solutions to measure and prevent risks, using digital social

media potential.

​

​

How?

 

The group is meeting once a month - starting on October 2016 with the following roadmap:

​

1- Scoping the social performance field to clearly defined and agreed on the relevant scope for

business implementation and Civil Society relevance;

 

2- Identifying the relevant social performance indicators with the capability of generating metrics;

 

3- Translating chosen indicators into relevant set(s) of metrics;

 

4- Trialing on-site digital monitoring solutions with the indicators and metrics in seafood supply chain to re-inform the process and further identify needs for co-creation;

 

5- Developing a risk review methodology to ensure constant re-adjustment of the digital monitoring

on the basis of risk weighting (risk looping for continuous social monitoring re-adjustment)

 

6- Identifying needs for an in-depth co-creation process: synergies and supports are addressed
