With the TSSS serving as a common platform, many companies have successfully come together to launch joint projects related to sustainable seafood.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 25px;\">As a result of the strong industry initiatives, the Japanese government announced the most significant reform of its fisheries laws in 70 years, fundamentally redefining the fishing regulations and resource management systems.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 25px;\">The TSSS2020 will bring business experts and leading professionals from the seafood industry, ESG investment and governance, coastal fishing communities, and government officials to share the latest knowledge in their respective areas of expertise and to foster innovative collaborations that thrive in the post-pandemic society.<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 25px;\">The symposium will welcome both speakers and audience participants from around the world and will provide English and Japanese interpretation in a virtual setting.<\/p>\n<p><!--\n\n\n<p class=\"strongTitle\">2019 Highlights<\/p>\n\n\n\n\t            With topics like marine plastic waste and conservation of marine resources becoming a globally important theme that was also discussed at this year\u2019s G20 Osaka Summit, protecting the ocean environment and sustainably producing and consuming seafood has taken root and continues to spread throughout the Japanese market.\nIt\u2019s not only seafood companies and trading companies. Sustainable seafood is permeating throughout different sectors: from supermarkets products to inside onigiri rice balls in convenience stores; on menus at restaurants and hotels; in the hands of famous chefs; on the plates at company cafeterias. With 2020 around the corner the world has its eyes on sustainable procurement.\n\nSeafood sustainability will also contribute to meeting Sustainable Development Goals. In addition to achieving Goal 14 \u201cLife Below Water\u201d and Goal 12 \u201cResponsible Consumption and Production\u201d, sustainable seafood can be a power tool to revitalize local communities through the preservation of the seafood consuming culture and traditions.\nCollaborations between influential companies and local communities through the utilization of technology and knowhow of AI and IoT is also on the rise.\n\n\n<p class=\"mb55\">\n                Tokyo Sustainable Seafood Symposium 2019 will showcase to the world the collaborative efforts between governments, businesses, local communities, NGOs and consumers.\nWe will introduce activities that improved corporate value, solved community-level challenges and reinforced branding. Together, we will accelerate the contributions of corporate ESG efforts and meeting SDG goals.\n\n--><\/p>\n<div class=\"text-center mt50 mb40\">\n<div class=\"btn-detail_blue\"><!--<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.com\/e\/tokyo-sustainable-seafood-symposium-2019-registration-60393415331\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">REGISTER<\/a>--><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"strongTitle\" style=\"margin-top: 100px; font-weight: 900;\">Who is Attending?<\/p>\n<style>\n                     .keyVisual__title__jp{<br \/>\n                          letter-spacing: 0.3em;<br \/>\n                     }<br \/>\n                     .keyVisual__title__en{<br \/>\n                          font-size: 1.125rem;<br \/>\n                          font-weight: normal;<br \/>\n                          margin-top: 5px;<br \/>\n                          letter-spacing: 0.3em;<br \/>\n                     }<br \/>\n                    .mdimg{<br \/>\n                        text-align: center;<br \/>\n                    }<br \/>\n                    .mdimg-margin{<br \/>\n                        margin-top:21px;<br \/>\n                        width:75%;<br \/>\n                        height:auto;<br \/>\n}<br \/>\n                    @media (max-width: 1020px) and (min-width: 768px) {<br \/>\n                        .mdimg {<br \/>\n                            width:80%;<br \/>\n                            height:auto;<br \/>\n                        }<br \/>\n                        .mdimg-margin{<br \/>\n                            margin:21px auto;<br \/>\n                        }<br \/>\n                    }<br \/>\n                    @media (max-width: 767px) {<br \/>\n                        .mdimg{<br \/>\n                            width:100%;<br \/>\n                            height:auto;<br \/>\n                        }<br \/>\n                        .mdimg-margin{<br \/>\n                            width:100%;<br \/>\n                            height:auto;<br \/>\n}<br \/>\n                    }<\/p>\n<\/style>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-xs-12 col-md-6\">\n<p class=\"strongTitle\" style=\"font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0 0;\">Occupation<\/p>\n<p>In order to successfully implement sustainable procurement and policy, multi-stakeholder collaboration within the company is indispensable.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mdimg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mdimg img-fluid\" src=\"\/2020\/wp-content\/themes\/tsss\/assets\/img\/about\/g-en-01.jpg\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"col-xs-12 col-md-6\">\n<p class=\"strongTitle\" style=\"font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; margin: 0 0;\">Title<\/p>\n<p>50% of the attendees are in the management level.<\/p>\n<div class=\"mdimg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mdimg mdimg-margin img-fluid\" src=\"\/2020\/wp-content\/themes\/tsss\/assets\/img\/about\/g-en-02.jpg\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"row\">\n<div class=\"col-xs-12 col-md-6\">\n<p class=\"strongTitle\" style=\"font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; margin: 20px 0 0;\">Industry<\/p>\n<p>The issue of sustainable use of marine resources is also attracting attention from non-seafood<\/p>\n<div class=\"mdimg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"mdimg img-fluid\" src=\"\/2020\/wp-content\/themes\/tsss\/assets\/img\/about\/g-en-03.jpg\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"archive\" class=\"about about_archive\">\n<div class=\"container\">\n<div class=\"text-center\">\n<h2 class=\"heading-style02_parts03\">ARCHIVE<span>PAST SYMPOSIUM<\/span><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"about__video\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"sustainable2019\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Ex1Ves_sfn0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p class=\"text-center mb30\">Please visit the archive for the latest report.<\/p>\n<div class=\"text-center\">\n<div class=\"btn-detail_blue text-center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sustainableseafoodnow.com\/archive\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">ARCHIVE<br \/>Our history since 2015<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Tokyo Sustainable Seafood Symposium 2020 shift to virtual event due to COVID-19 pandemic.
