GSSI is a foundation established through a strategic alliance between leading actors in the seafood industry and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH. It is implemented by GIZ on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and co-funded through its develoPPP.de program. Stakeholders have different partnership options:

• Funding Partner: private sector companies which support GSSI financially, promote GSSI work, and take part in GSSI decisions
• Affiliated Partner: non-profit partners can promote GSSI work and take part in GSSI decisions

Please contact the Secretariat if you wish to become a GSSI Partner.
