Heading 21 A Pentland Centre Research & Impact Digest, 2025 Seafood Business for Ocean Stewardship (SeaBOS) is an initiative working with keystone actors in the seafood industry. A keystone actor is an organisation that is both ecologically and economically significant. Led by the Stockholm Resilience Centre, the Pentland Centre brings scientific knowledge and expertise to SeaBOS, as well as studying the business changes that take place as a result of its endeavours. In particular, Professor Jan Bebbington’s work on corporate non-financial reporting has yielded new insights. Her work with SeaBOS challenges the norm of this reporting, focusing on the performance of a single company. The SeaBOS project is starting to show how collective and individual reporting may be read together to inform those seeking to understand corporate impacts on nature. The project has observed multiple reporting protocols engaged in by SeaBOS members: • The production of an impact report, outlining the performance of SeaBOS as a whole • A monitoring and reporting framework within the SeaBOS impact report that provides data on aspects of performance linked to the SeaBOS commitments • Each SeaBOS member company has its own non-financial reporting (that covers activities beyond SeaBOS) • Data provided by the Global Salmon Initiative about member companies across 15 sustainability indicators • Data on the sustainability of species caught in specific locations as curated by the Ocean Disclosure Project Each of these provide complementary insights into corporate performance for nature. Research is underway to examine how reading this data in concert changes our approach to corporate biosphere stewardship. SeaBOS
