In this special episode, we’re turning the spotlight inward to share the critical work happening within GSA’s Program Integrity Department. From advancing auditor training to improving labor rights data and launching a completely overhauled seafood processing standard, we’re showcasing how our team is driving transparency and trust across the seafood supply chain.
We’re joined by:
Kyle Harrison, Governance & Training Specialist, who walks us through the evolution of GSA’s auditor training program—from a five-day, in-person marathon to an engaging, efficient, and highly rated virtual model.
Amy McGann, Director of Social Responsibility, who discusses our new efforts to go beyond audits with anonymous worker surveys, social KPIs, and cross-sector collaboration aimed at improving labor conditions.
David Dietz, Manager of Standards Oversight, who shares a deep dive into SPS 6.0, the newly launched Seafood Processing Standard. He breaks down its modular design and how it supports both aquaculture and wild-capture operations.
