“STF is an action-driven organization and it has an important effect on the industry.”
“Where we are now – piloting grievance mechanisms on vessels for fishers; creating a marketplace for ethical brokers through a certification programme: these are very, very ambitious ideas becoming a reality.”
“There’s nothing like STF. We are a non-profit organization; an elite group of stakeholders coming together procompetitively, doing something with a common goal that is bigger than ourselves.”
“We are different because we have the whole supply chain working together – from the retailer to the farms, the vessels to the feedmills. This kind of collaboration is very hard to find in any industry.”
“This is a positive opportunity to make a positive impact on a rather large industry – not something that is handed to you very often.”
“All the stakeholders in the supply chain are working together, talking about the same topics and solving the same problems.”
“As well as retailers and producers, we also have the NGOs. Everyone is on the same page and headed in the right direction.”
“It’s not common for NGOs to be part of organisations like STF, but what the Task Force does is meaningful and effective – a real example of what works.”
“STF can demonstrate that members have all the tools necessary to make the improvements which will satisfy Government requirements.”
