Global Seafood Alliance faces greenwashing accusations
Critics argue that BAP certification fails to prevent environmental damage and human rights abuses, despite its widespread adoption by major global supermarkets. Evidence links certified farms to lethal sea lice, endangered species decline, and severe labor exploitation in regions like Chile, Canada, and Australia. This discrepancy highlights greenwashing, where retailers rely on flawed third-party labels to appear responsible while ignoring serious supply chain violations. Consequently, experts urge supermarkets to abandon these inadequate certifications in favor of rigorous, independent due diligence to ensure genuine ethical sourcing.
