Pelagic fisheries code of conduct

DPPO’s Code of Conduct sets out the shared principles that guide DPPO and our members in working towards a fully documented, sustainable and responsible pelagic fishery.

The Code is built around four key areas: Environment, People, Society and Business, covering our responsibilities towards marine ecosystems, our employees, the communities we are part of, and the way we conduct our business.

It reflects our commitment to transparency, responsible business conduct and continuous improvement, and supports the principles of the United Nations Global Compact on human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption.
