10 ASC Consumer Logo Helps consumers choose for responsibly farmed products ASC Hier komt verantwoord de titel van gekweekte de presentatie tilapia nu verkrijgbaar Easy recognition everywhere Trusted (well designed) consumer logo Logo license and product approval serviced by MSC Revenues through logo-licensing

12 The Aquaculture Stewardship Council WHO PAYS? WHAT DOES A FARM PAY TO ASC? - NOTHING! THE FARM PAYS THE COSTS OF AUDITORS ASC DERIVES ITS INCOME FROM LOGO LICENCING

13 The Aquaculture Stewardship Council Costs for using the ASC logo All organisations wanting to use the ASC logo must apply for a licence to be legally covered to do so. The costs involved in this vary depending on which sector you operate in. There are 2 costs involved when you use the ASC logo: 1. ANNUAL FEES 2. ROYALTY FEES The following sectors do not have to pay either of these fees: Certified farms and accredited assessment bodies Non-commercial organisations without foodservice operations The media Accredited educational institutions i.e. Universities and schools The following sectors only pay the Annual Fees Most supply chain, retail and foodservice companies who handle ASC products The following sectors have to pay both Annual and Royalty Fees If you are the supply chain, retail and foodservice company, who are the point in the supply chain where the ASC logo is put onto products

14 1. ANNUAL FEE Value of ASC certified seafood sold Annual fee 0 - $200,000 $250 $200,000-$500,000 $1,000 >$500,000 $2, ROYALTY FEE If you are using the ASC logo on consumer facing (retail) products, you will need to pay royalty fees in addition to the annual fee. Royalty fees are calculated at 0.5% on the wholesale price of seafood that is sold. Within the supply chain, for a product, royalties are only collected once. EXAMPLE A company that expects to sell $100,000 of ASC products would pay an annual fee, $250, at the beginning of the year. Then, at the end of each charging period, they would calculate their total sales. If they sold $110,000 of ASC logoed products in the year they would pay $550 in royalty fees (0.5% of $110,000 = $550). So the total cost for this organisation to be licenced to use the logo for a year is $800 ($250 + $550 =$800)
