Exploring the Business Case for Accountability and Transparency in the Seafood Sector 

Mar 15 2026

1:15 PM - 2:00 PM EDT

Room 156A

Seafood 2030/The Walton Family Foundation Programming. FREE AND OPEN TO ALL. This session will explore how corporate accountability in the seafood sector can move beyond naming and shaming to create tangible business value and strengthen industry resilience. Drawing on WBA’s recent research, the session examines how company commitments, robust data collection, and transparent reporting can improve decision-making, build stakeholder trust, and support long-term success. Through an interactive panel and Q&A, participants will discuss how accountability can demonstrate leadership and integrity, foster learning within and across companies, reduce operational and legal risks, and increase attractiveness to employees. The session will also identify which elements of the current accountability landscape deliver value, where gaps remain, and how companies and stakeholders can work together to strengthen accountability in ways that support learning, trust, and sustainable business performance.
