The company does not purchase raw materials of Russian origin and continues to uphold this policy, initiated in the third quarter of 2022. The exclusion also applies to feed ingredients from Belarus.

“There is still an ongoing conflict in Europe and we have made a clear and conscious choice. We do not purchase feed ingredients of Russian origin. For us, this is about responsibility, values and trust,” says CEO, Nina W. Grieg.

Feed is a critical component of responsible aquaculture. Grieg Seafood purchase from our suppliers with strict requirements that the raw materials used in the feed must be sourced outside Russia and Belarus. Grieg Seafood emphasizes that decisions on sourcing are closely linked to its broader commitment to responsible operations and its role as a long-term contributor to local communities.

The issue has gained renewed attention after a seafood producer halted the purchase of salmon linked to Russian feed ingredients, underlining both the reputational and ethical dimensions of sourcing choices in the industry.

Grieg Seafood will continue to monitor developments and ensure that its sourcing practices reflect both regulatory requirements and the company’s own standards for responsible business conduct.
