What is the FSP?

SCOPE:

Gear Method: Purse-seine fishing vessels - “FAD Free”

Location: Western Central Pacific Ocean (WCPO)

Target Species: Skipjack and Yellowfin Tuna

11

What is the FSP?—cont. “FAD Free” Definition:

Fishing Aggregating Device

Also known as “Free School” and “Unassociated”.

“Any object or group of objects, of any size, that has or has

not been deployed, that is living or non-living, including but

not limited to buoys, floats, netting, webbing, plastics,

bamboo, logs and whale sharks floating on or near the

surface of the water that fish may associate with”*

*WCPFC CMM 2008-01 Definition of a FAD*

12

How FSP works

FSP Standards: Well structured and monitored Chains of Custody (CoC).

(For further information for the transparency of the program the FSP Standards has been made available at fcf.com.tw.)

Bureau Veritas (BV): The independent third party inspection company – audits FCF for conformity against the FSP Standard

13

Commercialization of FCF FSP

FCF’s role in the Tuna Market: Being one of largest in TUNA trading worldwide.

Being able to provide assurance of FSP Raw Materials and products through well defined Chain of Custody.

Working with BV who provide expertise in auditing the Chains of Custody for FSP.

A healthy and sustainable fishery is essential for survival and is not just limited to fisheries companies but on a global scale for the planet, the people and future generations.

FCF’s commitment to a sustainable future.

Bureau Veritas International Recognition

FSP developed in 2013 as a “verification” program together with Bureau Veritas, Taipei Branch.

2nd half of 2015, verification program was upgraded through intensive efforts by Bureau Veritas HQ in Paris and FCF. 6 months long of auditing process.

Statement of Recognition issued on the 1st of July, 2016. International Recognition for the FSP program demonstrating BVs confidence in the FCFs conformity to the FSP Standard and management system of the FSP.

27

Bureau Veritas International Recognition

To gain and maintain the BV Recognition for the FSP, across the FSP supply chain a minimum of 250 man days (audits) are carried out on an annual basis. Including: FSP Fishing Trips FSP Carrier Transshipment FSP Carrier Discharge (unloading) FSP Electronic Observer records FSP Management System & traceability record verification. *BV to elaborate further the Recognition process

28

Beyond FCF FSP

FCF works closely and being largest supplier to Pacifical’s Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) in Parties to Nauru (PNA) waters.

Our commitment to sustainability: FCF is the largest supplier of PNA MSC tuna recognizing the PNA’s effort to provide MSC certified tuna. FCF and PNA MOU fleet covers 81 purse-seine fishing vessels

29

Recognizing that the next stage for FCF is to explore the potential of certification for a tuna MSC fishery in the WCPO.

Approached by an Alliance of Purse seiner owners and FCF will review possibility of a MSC certification for Alliance in the Q1 of 2017

FAD and « FAD Free » definition

ISSF Definition: FAD-free fishing is defined as fishing conducted during daylight hours at least 1 nautical mile away from any inanimate floating object The daylight provision is important because purse seine vessels only catch free-swimming schools during daylight hours.

.

Some Tuna fishing vessel (pure seiners) use Fish Aggregating Devices, (FAD) to improve tuna fishing efficiency. These floating objects attract fish, but also other marine species, such as sharks ,turtles with significant environmental impacts.

Tuna fishing vessel: Pure seine

FAD creates attraction of small fish + predators like tuna /around

35


Fishing vessels: Purse Seiners

• Fishing vessels with 12 to 20 different wells on board

• transshipment in port, on carrier vessels 9 to 12 wells

• Transport in harbour for processing

• Truck discharge & transport

• Storage place

• Reception & processing in « pre-processor » for filleting

• Re-shipment and processing in cannery

• Shipment in container of canned tuna

External evaluation plan adapted to internal monitoring of traceabilty by applicant

Transparency is required by applicant & associated sites during inspections to create confidence between BV and the supply-chain

Access to all sites for BV evaluators

Records & documents are required to prove compliancy of each site, sampled sites

During on site evaluation, if BV detects deviation against TMS,

• BV informs site and applicant who must define correctiv action(s)

• BV evaluator grade it « minor », « important » or « critical »,

• BV will assess efficiency of corrective action, and capacity of applicant to maintain supply-chain compliancy

Confidentiality is maintained by BV between visited sites (producers, processors…)

► BV Recognition - Assessment



47


• Initial evaluation through sampling of fishing vessel, transshipment, landing at port, storage: more than 100 Mandays by qualified BV inspectors/auditors to cover the whole supply chain

• FCF HO Audit by BV qualified audit team: 2 office audits performed

•Initial Evaluation:

•-> Global report of evaluations / synthesis & NC (if detected)

•BV Recognition Committee meeting & decision (June 2016)

•If compliant : BV Recognition issuance

BV Recognition follow up evaluation

Annual follow-up : continuous evaluation by sampling within supply-chain on fishing vessel, transshipment, landing at port, storage

BV will perform more than 250 mandays will be performed by qualified BV evaluators.

Annually, BV client can integrate progressively in the Recognition, new scopes like:

• Social accountability

• Marine resource

• Environment

• Quality –food safety

Traceability standard must be completed with criteria / scopes in standard evolution.

• BV will adapt external evaluation plan in a simple way

• if compliancy is assessed with favourable conlusion

• BV recognition statement will integrate those new criteria

Responsible fishing or sustainable fishing

► Responsible fishing (BV Recognition): Obligation of means -> best practices

at level of fishing vessel or fishing company on 4 responsibilities:

Marine Resources

Environment respect

Social practices & safety for crew

Product safety & quality

► Sustainable fishing (ecolabel): obligation of results / sustainability of a fishery

Conservation of fish the stock + eco-system /biodiversity

Efficient fishery management system with scientific data /regulation /control…

•Eco-label

Traceability

57


Comparison : MSC Certification & BV Recognition

“B to C” certification schemes (ecolabel) with visible logo on the product for consumer:

• MSC (Marine Stewardship Council) : Fishery & CoC (“chain of custody”)

• (Bureau Veritas accredited since 2007 for “CoC” & 2010 for fishery)

“B to B” : if client doesn’t find in those international eco-label, his purposes / CSR policy

Or if MSC Certification not accessible to the fishery in short term

Responsibility for marine resources, environment, crew & social, quality –food safety

FCF FSP Social Accountability (SA) Program Introduction

FCF follows closely worldwide concern on Human Right and awareness of Social Accountability in the TUNA trade.

During the process of the FSP international recognition program, FCF CEO decided to progress with BUREAU VERITAS (BV) for developing and recognizing on the Social Accountability standards or fair labor practices on Purse seine fishing vessels at the end 2015.


Due to lack of the widely accredited International standards for Social Accountability to DEEP SEA fishing vessels, even the respective national labor laws are not specific enough on ensuring the life of crews working on the fishing vessels. FCF works with BV by researching International Labour Organization (ILO) standards as initial approach.

FCF works closely with the associated “FSP purse-seine fleet” operate in Western Central Pacific Ocean (WCPO) to develop the social standards tailored to purse seine vessels.

62


Role of FCF: Leading team of FCF SA team and main associated fishing fleet (about 30 purse seiners ), FCF acts as the facilitator between vessels and International social specialists with the AIM to develop a SA program with third party Recognition.
