18 AQUACULTURE ASC AQUACULTURE Great increase in Scottish salmon farms seeking ASC certification An increasing number of Scottish salmon farmers are seeking certification to prove their social and environmental credentials. In 2022, the ASC saw a 144% increase in Scottish salmon farms applying for certification in comparison with the previous year. It follows a larger trend in market demand in the UK. Demand for ASC labelled salmon products is growing at 61% year-on-year in the UK. The Scottish salmon farming sector generated £766 million for the nation’s economy in 2021 – up 20% from 2019 – and could be worth up to £1 billion in a few years, according to industry body Salmon Scotland. With strong continued growth of ASC certification amongst Scottish producers – an increase of 1000% since 2017 – farmers can meet consumer and retail demand, ensuring that responsibly farmed Scottish salmon remains the salmon of choice for shoppers in the UK. Mowi was the first company in Scotland to achieve ASC certification for one of their farms. In the end of 2022, they had 30 salmon farms certified or in initial audit stage. For the important role they play as part of the wider supply chain, they were also awarded the ASC Retail Supplier of the Year Award 2022. Scottish Sea Farms and Bakkafrost Scotland were also on board – in the end of 2022 the former had three farms ASC’s first Annual Report was published in 2022. Seabass, Seabream farm, Cromaris, Croatia certified and the latter three farms certified or in initial audit stage – leading to the 144% increase in Scottish salmon farms applying for certification last year. The ASC standards have been central to industry commitments to seeking independent verification of their environmental and social performance. In 2013 a group, then representing 70% of the global farmed salmon industry, announced their commitment to sustainability as a path towards significant change as part of the Global Salmon Initiative (GSI). GSI members have chosen to benchmark their global performance by committing to achieving 100% of salmon production becoming ASC certified. ASCÊs first Annual Report Last year, the ASC released its first Annual Report “Transforming Aquaculture”, the report looked back on 2021 and reflected on the 10 years since the first aquaculture farm achieved ASC certification. In 2021, ASC’s efforts resulted in continued programme growth with activities dedicated to improving the accessibility of ASC certification, maintaining presence in existing markets and expanding to new ones, and putting over 20,000 ASC certified products in consumers’ hands. ASC currently operates 11 speciesspecific farm standards and a joint ASC-MSC seaweed standard, globally applicable where relevant fish and algae are farmed. There are around 2,000 certified farm sites covering 49 species. In 2021, ASC experienced a 20% growth in the number of certified farms sites from the previous year, increasing the global production of seafood that meets the social responsibility and environmental sustainability requirements of ASC standards to over 2.5 million tonnes. In the same year, ASC certified farms made 2,780 improvements across the 11 standards in the areas of environmental performance (1,800), social responsibility (893) and legal compliance (87). Looking ahead to future developments, the ASC Feed Standard will address impacts beyond the farm, bringing sustainability requirements into feed mills that manufacture aquafeed, as well as the ingredient suppliers and the raw materials producers. By the end of 2021, the availability of ASC-certified products grew by 10% compared to the previous year, bringing over 20,000 ASC labelled products to consumers, with over 275,000 tonnes sold. Global retail markets continued to demonstrate a strong preference for salmon and shrimp, which account for 70% of ASC labelled product weight. Moreover, demand is rising for other important regional species, such as trout, seabass, and seabream. There was strong uptake of ASC labelled products in Southern European markets and an increased strategic focus on bringing key species to US and UK markets. In 2021, ASC hosted events, competitions, promotions and tasting sessions, delivering educational and entertaining campaigns to engage consumers in collaboration with over 230 commercial and non-commercial partners. Our partners have included retailers, fish suppliers, fishmongers, top brands, restaurants and food chains, NGOs, zoos, aquaria, and museums. In 2021, 67 assessments of Conformity Assessment Body (CAB) performance were conducted covering 92% of defined target areas and to address incidents. The number of CABs in the ASC programme grew to 14, representing 184 auditors worldwide qualified to evaluate farms against ASC’s strict environmental and social requirements.

19 AQUACULTURE ASC AQUACULTURE Overall, according to the UN, global progress towards delivering on the SDGs has slipped in the past years due to factors including the COVID-19 pandemic, and recent events on the world stage such as the Russia-Ukraine war. As a result, stringent monitoring and questioning of sustainability data quality is ever more important. n For more information about ASC please contact Sun Brage on sun.brage@asc-aqua.org Details accurate as of 1 May 2023 ASC’s report benchmarking its performance against the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) was released last year. Seabass, Seabream farm, Cromaris, Croatia Quick facts about the ASC Certified farms As highlighted in the Food and Agriculture Organisation’s 2022 SOFIA report, with the increasing demand for seafood, its high value and complex supply chain, the risk of fraud is real and present. Assurance services developed by ASC aim to combat these risks through the use of innovative technologies. For instance, the Trace Element Fingerprinting (TEF) allows for the traceability of products to the source farms by evaluating products against a database of known samples. ASC releases innovative SDG report The ASC has released a report that looks at how responsible aquaculture can contribute to the United Nation’s 17 Global Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The paper also develops a methodology to quantify how ASC verifiably contributes to these goals. The 17 SDGs and their 169 associated targets are at the heart of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which was adopted by all 193 United Nations Member States in 2015, with a target date of 2030. These are designed to encourage global, national, and local strategies that seek to achieve reduction of climate change and poverty, reduce inequality, improve education and health, and spur economic growth, whilst tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests. The detailed report outlines, quantifies, and colour maps how each of the SDGs and targets are addressed by ASC and discusses areas where we align well and where there is room for improvement. Globally, ASC addresses targets within all 17 SDGs, and more than 80% of these are considered to be well or very well addressed. Just under half (49%) of the SDG targets are specifically applicable to global aquaculture and therefore to ASC’s work, but we found synergy with all 17 SDGs through our programme and wider work. On top of assessing the relevance of ASC certification, the report also looked at ASC’s wider actions, which result from the impact of the ASC programme on local communities, or via our advocacy on the local, national, and global stage, and in the international governance landscape and the marketplace. ASC also undertook a gap analysis and compared ASC performance with non-certified aquaculture, where claims may be self-declared, not backed up by transparent data or not verified by third parties, which can potentially lead to greenwashing. ASC aims to build support amongst global decision makers about the vital contribution that responsible aquaculture makes to achieving our collective ambition to meeting the SDGs. • 53 Abalone farms • 410 Bivalve farms • 1 Flatfish farm • 110 Freshwater Trout farms • 47 Pangasius farms • 633 Salmon farms • 72 Seabass/Seabream/ Meagre farms • 49 Seaweed units • 17 Seriola/Cobia farms • 597 Shrimp farms • 36 Tilapia farms • 8 Tropical marine finfish farms • 2,033 farms certified in total • 522 farms in assessment • 2,927 Chain of Custody certificate holders • 25,065 ASC labelled products* in 111 countries *Active in market consumer facing products bearing the ASC label can be found in markets globally.
