About Us
ASIC is a burgeoning regional collaboration between private sector stakeholders from Indonesia, Myanmar, Philippines, Thailand, and Vietnam who have come together to tackle social and environmental sustainability challenges facing the Asian seafood industry. ASIC stakeholders represent various elements of the Asian seafood industry including producer organizations, processors, environmental NGOs, and local certification bodies. These ASIC participants work in conjunction with export market stakeholders, including NGOs, buyers, and certification bodies, to build innovative tools designed to foster improvement for both shrimp aquaculture and fisheries in the region.
Our mission to support Asian stakeholders in becoming agents of their own empowerment and through collaboration, create pathways for seafood improvement that account for the social, environmental, and traceability challenges facing the region.
Our values
The future of our work relies on the strength of our collaboration and our commitment to sustainable improvements. To do this, we're focusing on these values to make our work more meaningful.
Why partner with ASIC?
Collaboration and inclusion have always been part of our ethos and approach to achieving greater positive change. Inspired by the idea, ASIC values partnerships of all sizes - from smallholder farmers to global multinationals support our mission for a more sustainable seafood space.
