Seafood Legacy announces Tokyo Sustainable Seafood Summit 2021 registration opening

KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 27 -- The Tokyo Sustainable Seafood Summit 2021 (TSSS2021) will be held from Oct 11 to 13, hosted by Seafood Legacy Co Ltd (Seafood Legacy) and Nikkei ESG and co-sponsored by Walton Family Foundation, David and Lucile Packard Foundation.

According to a statement, the theme of this year's summit is ‘Build Blue Economy Toward 2030: Changing Japanese Seafood Industry by DX and ESG Investment’.

With its eyes set on the blue economy and the achievement of the SDGs by their 2030 deadline, the summit will focus on DX (Digital Transformation) and ESG investment aimed at accelerating the move towards sustainability in the Japanese seafood industry.

The Tokyo Sustainable Seafood Symposium, the predecessor to this year's Tokyo Sustainable Seafood Summit, has been held yearly since 2015 and grown into one of Asia's largest and leading events in the sustainable seafood movement, with its participation growing each year.

The name for the event was changed from ‘symposium’ to ‘summit’ to better reflect the aim of realising a more practical movement.

In addition to sharing the latest information as was done in previous events, this year's event will use online functionality to provide a place where those earnestly seeking to promote sustainability in the seafood industry can interact with one another.

For three days, the summit will allow experts, both domestic and foreign, to join with other related persons to discuss the Japanese seafood industry, with the goal of passing on abundant oceans and a sustainable economy to the generations that follow.

During the event period, the 3rd Japan Sustainable Seafood Award will also be held which recognises efforts toward stimulating Japan’s sustainable seafood movement.
