ISSF’s Compliance Program Advances Tuna Sustainability
ISSF launched an in‑depth web feature spotlighting its latest ISSF Annual Conservation Measures & ProActive Vessel Register Compliance Report — an independent, third‑party audit report that benchmarks transparency and accountability among tuna companies and vessels.
The interactive feature highlights striking results: 99.6 % overall company compliance across 24 audited participants and a 77.5 % vessel pass rate on the ProActive Vessel Register. It also introduces first‑time audited outcomes for ISSF Conservation Measures 2.5 (transparency in reporting sustainable sourcing) and 1.3 (reducing Indian Ocean yellowfin tuna sourcing), underscoring real progress in traceability and stock rebuilding efforts. Enhanced visuals detail roadmap commitments, audit scores, and vessel performance — bringing clarity to the tuna supply chain. This feature reinforces ISSF’s leadership in driving verifiable sustainability and elevating expectations for industry accountability.
