Our impact

We are an impact-driven organisation with the aim to transform seafood farming towards sustainability. Because at ASC, we believe that aquaculture – if done responsibly – has an important role to play in feeding the world’s growing population. Read on to see how we use data across our certification programme to demonstrate ASC’s positive impact on people and planet.

The aquaculture industry is already supplying more than half of all seafood consumed worldwide. But if not carried out responsibly, fish farming can risk negative environmental and social impacts.

ASC continues to work hard to encourage responsible farming practices and to promote the benefits of responsible aquaculture.
