DEAR DELEGATES WELCOME TO THE 13TH NASF CONFERENCE – DEDICATED TO THE GLOBAL SEAFOOD INDUSTRY We are delighted to report that this year’s NASF reaches new heights! We have an outstanding program, featuring more than 150 speakers in 16 seminars over 3 days, delivering real value to our delegates. Much to see and learn - “Be Inspired by the Best”.

JØRGEN J LUND, Managing Director, North Atlantic Seafood Forum AS

Much of this expansion has come from NASF seeking new ways to engage important stakeholders at home and abroad by organizing special side events and seminars. Many of the new NASF seminars have been planned and arranged by these third parties taking an active role, thus broadening and expanding the NASF arena.

At the same time a number of new important players have come into the arena as sponsors and partners. These include : Innovation Norway, Pew Trusts, Norway Seafood Council, GIEK, Marsh, Schjødt, Bergen Chamber of Commerce, NCE AquaTech, Norway Industry Federation, and Marel .

The conference will continue to focus on world seafood trade and market access –highlighting the ever-increasing importance of the seafood industry in world food trade. By attending NASF you will receive insights into vital developments forming the future of the industry. We also now cover other vital themes such as IUU fishing, safety at sea, illegal labour, sustainability in the value chain, and other related issues of importance to the global industry.

This year, we are proud to announce the 5th National Delegation to NASF – The Netherlands.

Some 25 Dutch seafood companies are here. See an overview of these firms inside this NASF program.

The NASF arena has become a renowned centre for business – as we say: “Come and do business where business is”. More than 800 seafood executives from 30 countries are coming to NASF in Bergen to take part in our proceedings this year. We encourage everyone to make good use of this unique networking opportunity.

Our enlarged program is the result of interaction with leading seafood industry companies, partners, and stakeholders worldwide. We thank them for their strategic guidance and help in setting the right agenda, maintaining NASF as a true world class event.

We also thank our many sponsors, partners and supporters for their continuous support. And finally, thanks to our NASF International team situated around Europe, in Namibia, and China for their tireless efforts in promoting NASF and our mission worldwide. Your support makes NASF a dynamic and forward leaning arena for all to benefit from.

On behalf of the North Atlantic Seafood Forum, Pareto Securities, our co-organisers, and our distinguished sponsors, we warmly welcome you to the 13th NASF.

Yours very truly

Welcome to the North Atlantic Seafood Forum 2018 It is a great pleasure to welcome you all to the 13th edition of the North Atlantic Seafood Forum in Bergen, Norway. You are in a powerhouse for marine research and development.

Bergen is home to large companies within both aquaculture and pelagic fisheries, as well as research institutions and government offices. This is a great place for key players in the seafood industry to meet.

The seafood sector is one of the most important industries for the future. The world is growing and in need of more healthy food. We must make use of the sea’s current resources. At the same time, we must ensure that future generations can do the same.

This is why Norwegian authorities go to great lengths to ensure that our fisheries are sustainable, that our production facilities are clean, and that our seafood remains safe and healthy. And why we want to contribute to sustainable management of marine resources globally. International cooperation in research and innovation plays a key role in securing the ocean’s ability to produce safe and healthy seafood, and developing blue growth.

Last year I got to experience first hand what a valuable meeting place this conference is. The knowledge shared here inspires discussions. I hope you will have many fruitful discussions this year, because there is a rising demand for nutritious seafood and it must be sustainable.

I wish you all a successful conference.

Yours sincerely,

Per Sandberg Postal address: Postboks 8090 Dep 0032 Oslo Office address: Kongens gate 8 Telephone +47 22 24 90 90 Org. nr.: 912 660 680

Dear Delegates Welcome to the 13th North Atlantic Seafood Forum (NASF) here in Bergen. Once again Seafish is delighted to be a part of this well established event along with the rest of the UK delegation. NASF has developed into the largest seafood business event in the world tackling the challenges of sustainability, food security and ever changing policy and regulation. It has always provided an excellent platform to share knowledge and experience and many successful business relationships have been formed along the way.

The 13th NASF conference provides an opportunity once again for the seafood industry to talk about global progress in key topics and learn from each other on best practice in marketing and communicating this to the wider world. For us in the UK, it is a chance to showcase and share with you the successes of the UK seafood industry which plays a crucial part in our global supply chain.

This year we are jointly hosting a private luncheon with NASF for guests we hope to collaborate further with from many different organisations.

I wish you a pleasant stay in Bergen, Yours truly

Marcus Coleman CEO Seafish

Oslo, 23.02.2018

Welcome to the 13th annual North Atlantic Seafood Forum (NASF). Pareto Securities has since its foundation focused on sectors where we believe that Norway has competitive advantages. As a consequence the seafood sector has been a key sector for Pareto Securities for years. On this basis, being a majority shareholder and organizer of NASF is a natural part of our high seafood ambitions.

Pareto Securities’ focus on key Norwegian sectors like seafood, oil & gas, oil service and shipping has proved to be successful. Today Pareto Securities employs about 410 people and has 15 offices in 11 countries, including London, Frankfurt, New York, Singapore, and Perth. The company is a fully integrated investment bank with a broad service specter of transaction advisory, research and trading within equity, bonds, project finance, derivatives, currency and fixed asset brokerage.

In the sectors where Norway has clear competitive advantages Pareto has a tradition for soliciting the opportunities where the value creation takes place. For the seafood sector this implies a local perspective, meeting decision makers along the Norwegian coast, and a global perspective, meeting decision makers abroad and on other continents. We strongly believe that the broad sector focus and the lack of geographical boundaries yield more internal sector competence and experience, and put us in a unique position to provide valuable advice to our clients.

At Pareto Securities we believe that we are still in an early stage of the development of the seafood sector.

• • • •

We believe that the growing population’s need for tasty, healthy and omega-3 rich food will continue to grow; The aquaculture industry will have to increase its share with advanced solutions that will meet biological and economical requirements; Norway and Norwegian players will play an important part of the seafood development in a global context, and; Building bridges between the industry the global financial community will be an important part to facilitate this development.

As a consequence, we are proud to be a shareholder and organiser of NASF. We are encouraged to see the broad group of decision makers and investors taking the time to come to Bergen and join us at NASF, and the fact that NASF, under the management of our dear colleague Jørgen Lund, has emerged to become the largest seafood business conference of its kind in the world.

Thank you for coming to Bergen and NASF 2018.

Welcome to the 1st Global Aquatech event at NASF - a major meeting place for industry, seafood sector and financial markets. Get insights into the latest trends and technologies. Come and hear the latest news from industry investors. Meet the most innovative entrepreneurs, presenting state of the art aquaculture technologies Both in Norway and the EU it’s been set goals to achieve a larger aquaculture production. FAO has stated that food production must increase by nearly 70% within 2050 to meet the future demand for food. Fertile land areas are fully exploited – the growth in food production must be achieved through marine aquaculture production. Norway is the largest marine aquaculture producer and Norwegian suppliers have delivered state of the art aquaculture technologies for decades. Still, there’s a demand for technological development and inventions to increase aquaculture production. Even more, there is a demand for improvement and industrialization of existing fresh water production.

With the establishment of the NASF Global Aquatech Summit, on NASF Day-Zero, you will be able to get the latest news from the most innovative technology suppliers and new entrepreneurs.

Future prospects in aquaculture technology A growth in aquaculture production requires development of different types of technologies. Both high cost exposed farming systems, and low cost systems for sheltered waters, have a demand for further development.

In addition, the new digital age opens opportunities for improved production. Come to Global Aquatech Summit to get the latest news from the world’s first exposed farming system Ocean Farming 1 The technological solution providers Cross-over application from other industries, new disruptive solutions and “Star Wars” laser technologies are all coming to the marked in 2018. The common goal is to improve aquaculture production and enable sustainable growth. At Global Aquatech Summit you’ll be presented to seven of the most innovative solutions for aquaculture.

Financing and business development It’s been predicted that Norwegian marine technology suppliers will reach an annual revenue of approximately 125 billion NOK in 2050. This makes them interesting investment opportunities.

OVERVIEW OF 13TH NASF 2018 SESSIONS NASF SUSTAINABLE OCEANS FUTURE – POLICY, MANAGEMENT AND BUSINESS Session 2 – 6th March (Day Zero) Organized by Institute of Marine Research (IMR) and FAO The world’s oceans are under increasing pressure, from overfishing; ocean warming, acidification, plastics, and persistent chemical pollution. These stressors on the marine ecosystems are mainly caused by different anthropogenic activities, like pollution from land (farming, industries and the general public), shipping, offshore petroleum activities, tourism, aquaculture and fisheries.

Among the different users of the oceans, the seafood industry is by far the most vulnerable – and can be negatively affected by multiple stressors, particularly by overfishing and persistent pollution (harmful chemicals and micro/nano plastics). In recent years, there has been a growing concern regarding the sustainability and resilience of the marine ecosystems in general, but particularly regarding their ability to provide sustainable seafood to a growing world population. This concern includes both food security and food safety as well as i ncome and livelihoods for numerous communities – a concern shared by governments, policy makers, managers, scientists, NGOs – and not least; the seafood business itself.

This seminar aims at bringing the different stakeholders together to explore a common platform for future actions towards sustainable oceans and seafood production.

NASF AQUACULTURE RISK, INSURANCE & LEGAL Session 3 – 6th March (Day Zero) Organized by Marsh & Schjødt This workshop is designed as a platform for dialogue and understanding of the essential elements that constitute a risk for this industry. This is the first time we initiate this dialogue between the insurance, legal operators and seafood business leaders and hence we see this meeting place as a great forum for future risk understanding and insurance in the aquaculture industry. The workshop is meant to be an interactive session, chaired by Marsh and Schjødt. High profiled, expert speakers and panellists drawn from leaders in the insurance market will be discussing their analyses and interpretations of industry specific legal and insurance-related implications arising from operating within the aquaculture industry.

At this workshop we will discuss aquaculture insurance, today – and in the future. We will look at various challenges the industry faces; in respect of biomass, floating equipment and well boats.

• How do insurance companies calculate their premium? And why do we see big differences in rates/cover in various countries?

• How big of an impact has historical data/events, location/risk exposure, the development in technology/R&D – in this event?

• With all the fish handling, sea lice and disease treatment, and hence known high risk – will it be insurable, if still increasing?

• What can you as a company does to be more attractive to insure?

• Tomorrows insurance program for aquaculture, is today’s program outdated?

• How can insurance meet new risk exposure in the industry?

OVERVIEW OF 13TH NASF 2018 SESSIONS NASF CEO BREXIT WORKSHOP Session 4 – 6th March (Day Zero) Organized by NASF Team - by invitation only On June 23rd 2016, the British public voted to decide whether the UK should remain as a member of the EU. On March 19th 2017, the UK Prime Minister triggered the Article 50 process – the official notification to the EU of the UK’s intention to exit the union. Official negotiations began on 19th June 2017 and, unless there is unanimous consent by all Member States, must conclude by 19th March 2019. The UK’s decision has momentous implications, not just for the UK, but widely across all aspects of society and across all parts of Europe and the European Free Trade Area. Whilst the fishing industry represents less than half of one percent of UK GDP, it became one of the iconic issues of the Brexit campaign, and continues to be an emblematic topic of debate. Beyond the potential implications to the Common Fisheries Policy, because seafood is a widely traded international commodity, Brexit also poses a number of questions about how wider trade relationships between the UK and the rest of the world will change after March 2019.

This workshop is designed as an essential resource for seafood business leaders; it will review progress of the fluid and dynamic Brexit process, with a very special focus on how the potential outcomes are likely to impact the business of international seafood trade. In an interactive session, high profile, expert speakers and panellists drawn from across the UK, EU and EFTA regions will be discussing their analysis and interpretation of the legal, political and trade implications arising from the UK’s withdrawal from EU. The seminar does not seek to question the rights and wrongs of Brexit – but represents an opportunity for business leaders to look at the potential opportunities and challenges that their organizations will face when the UK withdraws from the EU. Brexit represents a momentous change to the European political and trade landscape – its consequences on the business community will inevitably be significant and far-reaching. As business leaders and key decision makers, it is important for senior executives in the sector to remain wellinformed about the potential consequences of the UK’s withdrawal from the EU. The NASF VIP Brexit Seminar will give expert insights from those closely involved; it is an opportunity to consider Brexit entirely from a seafood industry perspective – an opportunity that may well prove to be an invaluable aid in considering future business strategy and investment decisions as we move towards the post-Brexit era.

NASF YOUNG LEADERS SUMMIT Session 5 – 6th March (Day Zero) Organized by NASF and Bergen Chamber of Commerce & Bergen Seafood Cluster Team Young Leadership Summit is a network for young professional leaders working in the seafood industry or related industries where the need for sustainable innovation is increasingly important to create growth and succeed in a highly competitive environment.

Young Leadership Summit is a co-event to North Atlantic Seafood Forum where young seafood professionals (below 40) both in Norway and abroad with some executive experience come together for top-grade presentations on highly relevant topics, workshops and networking.

OVERVIEW OF 13TH NASF 2018 SESSIONS NASF/MSC SUSTAINABILITY SEMINAR Session 9 – 7th March (Day One) Organized by NASF Team and MsC Sustainability - value for profitable business Seafood is one of the world’s lowest impact animal proteins – many would argue the lowest. With the global population expected to reach 10 billion by 2050, seafood has a vital role to play in feeding the world sustainably. This offers tremendous business opportunities for fisheries, aquaculture operations, processors and retail companies alike.

Reflecting on these opportunities, this year’s sustainability seminar, chaired by Andrea Weber, CSR director in Metro Group, has a thought-provoking line-up of international speakers from retail, consumer organisations, traceability specialists, sustainability verification and assurance systems, and international organisations.

The keynote panel will consist of Hugo Byrns, vice president CSR in Ahold Delhaize who will speak about the importance of sustainability in retail. Huw Thomas of pew charitable trusts will speak on illegal unreported and unregulated (IUU) fisheries, and Dominic Waughray of the world economic forum (WEF) will share the new vision on oceans. A panel discussion will give the audience the opportunity to ask questions.

With the development of new technologies for traceability, the much spoken about blockchain technology and its application on seafood will be presented by Nancy O’Mallon, the founder of earth twine. Herman Wisse, director at the Global Sustainable Seafood Initiative, will update the audience on the benchmarking of certification programs. Didier Bergeret from the Consumer Goods Forum will reflect on the global social compliance program and the expectation on fishing and processing companies. Prof dr. Adriaan Rijnsdorp will update the audience on trawling best practices, and innovations such as the electronic “pulse” trawl. Keondra Bills Freemyn of the Ocean Conservancy will reflect on marine pollution and plastics in the oceans. Biomar and Corbion will address the theme: “Enhancing nutrition responsibly”- this is a joint presentation by Vidar Gundersen, global sustainability director from Biomar in Norway and Jill Kauffman Johnson, sustainability and external affairs, from Corbion, USA.

MESOPELAGIC INITIATIVE – MOBILIZING A GLOBAL RESOURCE Session 10 – 7th March (Day One) Organized by Innovation Norway and IMR What new opportunities can the oceans offer, as traditional fisheries are being pushed to their limits?

Mesopelagic organisms, living below 200 m, represent a huge and still virtually untapped marine resource.

New data suggest that these very productive marine ecosystems may provide a major sustainable source of food and feed ingredients. Innovation Norway and the Institute for Marine Research bring together key Nordic stakeholders to shed light on this opportunity.

Value chain development To initiate commercial fisheries, several technical and market-related challenges must be overcome. The interdependency of the various parts of this potential new value chain points to a need for concerted action. A key ambition of the seminar is to facilitate a discussion between the research community, the maritime supply industry, fishing companies and the end users of marine ingredients.

OVERVIEW OF 13TH NASF 2018 SESSIONS Biology and management This seminar builds on the 2017 “Mesopelagic Initiative” established by the Institute for Marine Research, underscoring the importance of a credible scientific basis for resource assessment and understanding of ecosystem dynamics. The program will address key aspects of mesopelagic resource management and the requirements for a sustainable and long-term regulatory framework.

The NASF 2018 seminar is part of a broader Nordic initiative aiming to spearhead sustainable exploitation of mesopelagic resources. The partners of this initiative comprise government agencies for industry development and research financing, as well as key academic institutions: Contact: Ole Jørgen Marvik, Innovation Norway; ole.jorgen.marvik@innovationnorway.no Bjørn Erik Axelsen, IMR, bjoern.erik.axelsen@hi.no

SAFETY, LABOUR AND ILLEGAL FISHING (IUU) IN THE SEAFOOD CHAIN Session 11 – 7th March (Day One) Organized by Pew Charitable Trust What’s Behind Your Seafood?

Addressing the risks of Illegal Fishing and Labor in the Seafood Supply Chain Pew’s Ending Illegal Fishing Project Illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing threatens the sustainability of the world’s fisheries. It cheats coastal communities that depend on healthy fish populations for income and deceives consumers who trust that the fish they purchase comes through legal supply chains. Illegal and unreported fishing accounts globally for up to 26 million metric tons of fish annually, worth up to $23.5 billion annually. This means that there is a 1 in 5 chance that commercially traded wild-caught fish was caught outside of the law, making supply chains vulnerable. But it is far more than just an environmental hazard. Illegal fishing has also been known to be associated with crimes such as piracy, human rights abuses, and arms and narcotics smuggling.

The International Maritime Organization (IMO), Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), and International Labour Organization (ILO) have all acknowledged the links between IUU fishing and crimes involving the safety and welfare of crews. Treaties aimed at combatting illegal fishing and setting decent working conditions have both entered into force, however a gap remains around international safety standards.

Harmonised efforts by industry can help bring in the needed regulations, and successfully implement those that already exist.

Pew hopes to show how agreements from the three UN agencies, when all in force, can reduce risk of buying IUU fish tainted with labour rights abuse, whilst outlining tangible policies that the seafood industry can put in place to tackle these issues. This work is of particular relevance to seafood importers, retailers and their suppliers.

56

OVERVIEW OF 13TH NASF 2018 SESSIONS Engaging the Seafood Industry Retailers and seafood buyers have the purchasing power to influence other sectors, including processors and wholesalers, to ensure that the fish they process and sell is legally sourced. All of these stakeholders can also engage with governments to advocate for the passage and effective implementation of strong fishery laws.

Pew’s ending illegal fishing project works with seafood companies to stop illegally caught fish from entering the supply chain. By engaging with retailers, processors, and the food service sector, we hope to build consensus among those businesses on how to keep illicit catch off the shelf.

With demand for transparency and accountability in consumer goods at an all-time high, Pew aims to ensure that industry stakeholders have the information they need to prevent illegally caught fish from entering global markets.

Main themes: • The problem of IUU fishing and how it negatively impacts the seafood market.

• Overview of Port State Measures Agreement, Cape Town Agreement, ILO C188, how they fit in together, why the different elements should be considered as a ‘package’ • The ongoing work of the FAO, ILO and IMO • How buyers’ risk assessment criteria is derived from international instruments/agreements (PSMA, CTA, ILO188, IMO Number Resolution, etc.)

• How the PAS 1550 (Publicly Available Standard) fits in • Gaps and ongoing challenges • The role that the seafood industry can play in promoting the uptake and implementation of these instruments • The benefits that the industry can expect from improved implementation vs. the risks of one issue lagging behind Contacts: Huw Thomas, Senior Officer, Business Partnerships & Outreach, Global Campaign to End Illegal Fishing Pew Charitable Trusts, USA and UK e-mail: HThomas@pewtrusts.org Web: http://www.pewtrusts.org/en/topics/oceans

NASF SEAFOOD INNOVATION DAY Session 13 – 8th March (Day Two) Organized by NASF and NCE Seafood Innovation Innovation stories and investment opportunities - Showcasing the most exciting innovations for sustainable growth in the seafood industry!

For the first time in the main North Atlantic Seafood Forum program, we present an entire day with innovation stories and investment opportunities to shape one of the most important industries for the future.

The Norwegian Seafood Industry plays a leading role in global production of healthy and sustainable food, with a vision of threefold the seafood production by 2030. The Seafood Innovation Cluster is established by the industry to facilitate this growth. Through the National Centres of Expertise, The Seafood Innovation Cluster focuses knowledge, innovation and entrepreneurship to help the industry reach the vision and ensure sustainable growth of Norwegian seafood internationally. Innovation and entrepreneurship will therefore be in focus when the Seafood Innovation Day is organized for the first time between The Seafood Innovation Cluster and North Atlantic Seafood Forum (NASF).

57

OVERVIEW OF 13TH NASF 2018 SESSIONS - To reach the ambitious vision of the seafood industry, we need to facilitate innovation and digital development, says Tanja Hoel, General Manager of The Seafood Innovation Cluster. - At Seafood Innovation Day we will show exciting initiatives that can contribute to new solutions in the seafood industry.

Growth through innovative solutions is also crucial for the seafood industry for contributing to realize the UN´s sustainability goals by 2030. - The seafood industry must take a leading role to seek solutions for sustainable food production for the growing global population, says Einar Wathne, Chairman of The Seafood Innovation Cluster and President of Cargill Aqua Nutrition. - When seafood executives from all over the world meet at NASF, we have a unique opportunity to put innovation for sustainable growth in the seafood industry on the global agenda.

Entrepreneurship and innovation The entrepreneurs represent much of the innovative force of the seafood industry and contribute to increased innovative opportunities in existing businesses as well as new seafood companies. The NCE Seafood Innovation Cluster programs provide opportunities for development, financing and commercialization of new business ideas.

Through an application process, 10 start-ups have qualified to pitch their business ideas at the Seafood Innovation Day. They have all participated in programs at Accel Seafood or Hatch Aquaculture Accelerator, which are business accelerators with unique growth programs for innovative start-ups in the seafood industry.

Through showcasing at Seafood Innovation Day, the selected start-ups are given access to potential partners, customers and investors. The purpose of this match-making, is to link good ideas with capital and partners, and thus facilitate the development of new seafood companies.

New business opportunities through innovation and digitalization Digitalization and use of new technology provide new opportunities for business development in existing businesses. At Seafood Innovation Day we will look more closely into how machine learning, artificial intelligence and new block chain technology can contribute to new solutions in the seafood industry.

We encourage new relations between potential business partners across industries that provide new opportunities for innovation, digitalization and business development and new solutions for further development of the seafood industry.

Research-driven innovation Innovations often spin out from the R&D sector. These represent a great potential both for the development of new businesses and for innovation in existing businesses. At Seafood Innovation Day we facilitate establishment of new relationships and match-makings that can provide innovation, new technology and business development in increased collaboration between R&D and the seafood industry.

The Netherlands: where tradition meets innovation

The Netherlands has a long tradition as a fishing and fish processing nation. Fish trading started as early as the Middle Ages, when it became a cornerstone of Dutch wealth. Till this day the fleet suplies the eleven fish markets in the country with fresh fish on a daily base.

Many changes since the Middle ages took place though. Sustainable management of fish stock became increasingly important and innovations of fishing techniques are ongoing to preserve the environment. Maintaining the highest quality standards is of utmost importance.

I am proud to present a selection of key Dutch fishing industry related companies attending the conference. A larger then ever Dutch delegation is visiting this years edition and is looking forward to connect with industry colleagues from all over the world and to hear inspiring speakers on exiting topics.

for organising the reception and to Foppen, Marine Harvest and Ouwehand for providing fish snacks during the reception. Also Nederlandse Brouwers for providing Dutch brewed beers which go especially well with fish. Get a taste of dutch kitchen and seafood originated from Holland!

This year the Netherlands is host country of the opening reception and I would like to grab the oppertunity to express my special thanks to the Dutch Fish Marketing Board

We look forward to welcoming you!

Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) The Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) is an independent, not-for-profit organisation co-founded by the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and The Sustainable Trade Initiative (IDH) in 2010 to operate a third party certification and labelling programme for aquaculture around the globe.

The ASC Standards were created by WWF and IDH to address the most pressing environmental and social impacts of aquaculture. The ASC Standards are developed in line with the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations Guidelines and is the only aquaculture certification scheme to be recognised as a full member of the ISEAL Alliance, which requires inclusive and transparent standard setting.

ASC certificate holders must operate at the highest industry standards to ensure the preservation of the natural environment, biodiversity and water resources and provide good working conditions for their employees. The on-pack ASC logo guarantees

to consumers that the fish they purchase has been farmed with minimal impacts on the environment and on society.

The ASC Standards cover principles and criteria to minimize environmental and social impacts in the following areas of aquaculture: • Legal compliance (obeying the law, the legal right to be there) • Preservation of the natural environment and biodiversity • Preservation of water resources and water quality • Preservation of diversity of species and wild populations (e.g., preventing escapes which could pose a threat to wild fish) • Responsible sourcing and use of animal feed and other resources • Good animal health and husbandry (no unnecessary use of antibiotics and chemicals)

To this end, PFA members have established a policy in which strong collaboration with science, fisheries managers and other stakeholders leads to good governance and

a sustainable fishing operation. At this moment between 80% and 90% of the production of the PFA members is MSC certified.

The PFA plays an active role in a variety of sectoral and international bodies, where fisheries policy is discussed and fisheries management advice is formulated. These include the Pelagic Advisory Council (AC) for pelagic stocks, and the Long Distance RAC for EU fleets that operate in external waters. The PFA is also represented in the pelagic working group of the European Association of Fish Producers Associations, as well as in Europêche (EU association of fishermen) and ICFA (global association of fishermen).

Furthermore the PFA acts as contact point for the European Commission, national administrations, regional fisheries organisations (RFOs) and stakeholders such as NGOs and other industry groupings, on issues regarding pelagic freezer-trawling and pelagic fisheries management.

SGRG Consulting BV In today’s world the importance of a clear strategy combined with effective and focused realisation becomes more and more important to deliver the goals set. Companies for example face stronger financial demand, at higher investment levels with cost of sales increasing and returns on innovation under pressure. Particularly in industries where competition is high and the product offer is difficult to differentiate these constraints are most visible. Fresh product categories, including fish and seafood, are known businesses having to deal with these circumstances.

At SGRG Consulting we recognize these challenges. And we have seen best practices being developed. These best practices of course all have their own characteristics but one element emerged from these: successfull organisations operated with the combination of on one hand a clear strategy and clear goals and on the other

hand a focused execution based on customer or consumer needs!

Having worked for more than 25 years in these industries at all levels of the foodchain and almost 15 years at senior levels in the fresh product industries we have built up significant experience to identify what creates succes and delivers goals, and what not. We can support executives creating compelling strategies and at the same time support managers and teams in the realisation phase of that strategy. Because we truly believe that setting strategy and goals is one thing, and realising them another. And always should be clearly interlinked!

Interested to learn more what we could do for you?

We can meet each other during the NASF conference. You can also reach us at j.smit@sgrg.nl or telephone +31 623 032540. We would be delighted to meet you. We wish you a good and inspiring conference!

Veramaris Veramaris is a 50:50 joint venture of DSM and Evonik for the production of the omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA from natural marine algae.

Located in Delft, the Netherlands, Veramaris was launched in 2018, because its parent companies shared a vision: to conserve marine life by using a resource the ocean provides – natural marine microalgae.

Producing an algal oil rich in the two essential omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA through largescale fermentation at its facility in Blair, Nebraska, USA, Veramaris enables partners along the value chain to become independent from wild-caught fish and meet the growing demand for animal protein responsibly.

Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) The Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) is an international non-profit organisation. Our vision is for the world’s oceans to be teeming with life, and seafood supplies safeguarded for this and future generations. Our ecolabel and certification program recognises and rewards sustainable fishing practices and is helping create a more sustainable seafood market.

MARINe StewARDSHIP COuNCIL www.msc.org

The MSC ecolabel on a seafood product means that: • It comes from a wild-catch fishery which has been independently certified to the MSC’s science-based standard for environmentally sustainable fishing.

• It’s fully traceable to a sustainable source.

More than 300 fisheries in over 34 countries are certified to the MSC’s Standard. These fisheries have a combined annual seafood production of almost nine million metric tonnes, representing 12%

of global marine catch. More than 25,000 seafood products worldwide carry the MSC label.

For more information visit www.msc.org.

The MSC program could not exist without the many fishers around the world who work to safeguard stocks, ecosystems and their own livelihoods. On the website you can read stories about fishers working hard to safeguard our oceans.
