Nota Bene Episode 4: Creating a Socially and Environmentally Conscious Supply Chain with Susan Jackson

09.26.2018

Where nation states fail to provide necessary environmental regulations, multinationals step up and fill that gap. After all, multinationals are best situated to make a positive impact on the environment through socially conscious initiatives and data-driven decision-making. But how can companies accelerate change in their respective industries?   

Joining us today to share her insight is Susan Jackson, president of the International Seafood Sustainability Foundation (ISSF), a global partnership among scientists, tuna processors, and environmental nonprofits to undertake science-based initiatives for the long-term conservation and sustainable use of tuna stocks, reducing bycatch and promoting a healthy marine ecosystem.
