The Ministry, the Ministry of Economic Development and the seafood industry have been working together to develop a standard methodology for measuring greenhouse gas emissions for individual businesses in the seafood sector. This is free to use and will help these businesses to understand and manage their greenhouse gas footprint and the related opportunities for reductions on a sustainable and cost effective basis. The project incorporates lessons from other sector specific sustainability projects, international best practice (eg PAS2050) and has involved industry to ensure that specific industry needs and priorities are met and the methodology is practical to apply. A methodology has recently been finalised and the Ministry is working with industry to identify opportunities to promote its uptake. Electronic copies of the greenhouse gas emissions calculation tool, user guide and the methodology report are provided below.
