RISE Foundations

The RISE Foundations are the essential building blocks of a seafood company’s social responsibility program. While companies may face different human rights risks within their supply chains, some challenges are common across the seafood industry. By implementing responsible recruitment policies and practices, developing meaningful worker engagement programs, and fostering conditions for decent work at sea, seafood companies minimize human rights risks and maximize opportunities to create value for workers.

RISE is built upon three core foundations:

Responsible Recruitment

Companies ensure that workers are voluntarily recruited into their supply chains through legal and ethical processes, with worker safeguards and transparency built into the hiring process. Workers do not pay fees to secure a job.

Worker Engagement

Companies establish processes to meaningfully engage workers in developing and implementing relevant policies, protocols, and practices. Workers or their representatives are consulted to contribute and verify data in a human rights due diligence process.

Decent Work at Sea

Companies provide at-sea workers access to resources and protections equivalent to those of workers on land, especially given the dangerous and often remote nature of fishing. Seafood products are traceable to the vessel.
