Review and Prioritization of Top 3 Sustainable Indicators
Common Approach to Sustainability: Continuous Improvement Process
2
1. DefineA. Define Sustainability for the EnterpriseB. Define IndicatorsC. Select Means of Verification (Metrics) for Indicators
2. PlanA. Benchmark Indicator MetricsB. Set Goals for Each IndicatorC. Develop Strategy to Meet Goals
3. ImplementA. Implement the StrategyB. Measure, Assess and Report ResultsC. Adapt Strategy to Improve Outcomes
The First Priorities for Any Commercial Enterprise
1. Economic Viability2. Social License to Operate3. Reputational Control over Brand4. Safe, Secure, and Stable Supply
Chain5. Access to Markets

Definitions
• Indicator: Variables or conditions that are important to producers and their customers.
• Metric: measurements of indicators.• Benchmark: Metrics for a point in time,
to be used for analysis of improvement.

NRSA Workshop #1 Goals
March 26, 2015
Deliberations•The deliberation goal for Workshop #1 was to articulate a range of sustainability concerns across stakeholder sectors.Decisions•The decision goal for Workshop #1 was to develop a set of KPIs for each dimension of sustainability for US aquaculture producers.

Criteria for Indicators of Sustainable Agriculture
Indicators should be:1.SMART (specific, measureable, achievable, relevant and time bound);2.Outcomes Based;3.Science Driven;4.Technology Neutral;5.Transparent.
Indicators are Global
Metrics are context specific:•Location•Process•Operation•Scale•Markets•Events
7
Where we started: Priority Selection1. Identify the most important indicators
– Important to producers– Important to their customers
2. Select indicators that have established metrics
– Develop experience with assessment and reporting– Create a process that works for everyone
3. When the first phase of indicators are established identify the second phase

Next Step: Metric Development
• Identify the measurable elements within each indicator– Each sector will identify what is already being
measured, what can be measured, and what should be measured
• Common measurements across sectors will be classified as System Metrics
• Metrics that are unique to a sector will be classified as Sector Metrics
• Prioritize System and Sector Metrics for benchmarking 26
