The International Accreditation Forum (IAF) and the World Sustainability Organization (WSO) have signed an agreement to endorse Friend of the Sea as an IAF Multilateral Recognition Arrangement (MLA) sub-scope. Friend of the Sea, a certification program promoting sustainable marine practices, will now be recognized under the IAF's Product Certification standard (ISO/IEC 17065). This enables mutual recognition of accredited certification for the scheme, facilitating acceptance in multiple markets with a single accreditation.

IAF Chair Emanuele Riva emphasized the partnership’s role in supporting sustainable practices and responsible sourcing in global seafood supply chains. Paolo Bray, Founder of Friend of the Sea, stated that this endorsement boosts the credibility of their certification, combating greenwashing and providing consumers with trustworthy sustainability certification.
