The Pledge Specific and clear, but flexible Agreed by collaboration of organisations Different for large and small businesses The pledge requires a caterer to AVOID THE WORST Red-rated PROMOTE THE BEST Green-rated/MSC Certification Fish-serving institutions are asked to sign the fish cities pledge IMPROVE THE REST Amber-rated

25 How to become a Sustainable Fish City To change the fishculture, we need to gather pledges from the largest and most influential caterers in a city. We have identified the following 5. Cities are awarded a star for each category that they achieve. Public Sector TARGET 2 of the following: Majority of PRIMARY SCHOOL catering Majority of SECONDARY SCHOOL catering Significant amount of other Council Services (Care Homes, Welfare Catering, Police, Fire, Civic Catering, Council run libraries, galleries or museums) Hospitals TARGET main contractors Higher Education TARGET at least half HE institutions Large Employers/ Staff Canteens TARGET - at least 10 large employers Innovation TARGET both: 10 Iconic businesses Innovative Campaigning/ engagement 25

26 In 2014, through the Sustainable Food Cities network, the campaign worked with other towns and cities to run local campaigns. There are now 15 cities doing so, and all these national caterers signed up 26

27 Other Cities are already wanting to pilot schemes London Liverpool Canterbury Cardiff Southampton Bristol
