A systematic cross-reference mapping 44 Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) against seven Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certification and assessment instruments. The dataset contains three sheets detailing KPI coverage, MSC Standard Performance Indicators, and pathway instrument descriptions. It was authored by Louise Gammage and last updated on 2026-05-11.
Use Cases
- Identify gaps in MSC certification coverage based on the KPI coverage status (COVERED/PARTIAL/NOT COVERED/MIXED).
- Map specific MSC Fisheries Standard Performance Indicators to external framework KPIs using the reference table.
- Select appropriate MSC assessment instruments (e.g., Pre-Assessment, Benchmarking Tool) for impact evaluation based on described use cases and limitations.
Strengths
- Explicitly maps 44 KPIs, with coverage distribution quantified: 20 KPIs fully covered, 12 partially covered, 11 not covered, 1 mixed.
- References MSC Fisheries Standard v3.0/3.1 Performance Indicators with detailed columns including Scoring Guideposts.
- Describes nine distinct MSC pathway and certification instruments with columns for When Used, What It Measures, and Limitations.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
