How we work to improve
The ocean has the potential to provide low impact food for generations to come – if we do it right. Research, innovation and continuous improvement will help us get there.

How we work to improve
Though we have made great progress in finding more responsible fish farming methods in recent decades, many challenges remain to be solved on our journey towards a more sustainable food system. Each day, we strive to improve.
Co-existence with nature and other species
It is our responsibility to protect nature and biodiversity wherever we operate. Our aim is to use farming methods that allow us to co-exist with other species. Going forward, our industry must work hard to reduce our environmental impact.
Sustainable feed
We are conscious of the environmental and social risks that may be connected to feed ingredients and are committed to responsible sourcing. As an industry, we also need to develop new feed ingredients in order to grow sustainably. We need novel marine ingredients, as well as novel protein ingredients.
Recycling resources
Our industry must develop a circular approach in more areas. The aim is to support the circular economy and recycle resources throughout our value chain.
Technology & Innovation
Technology and innovation continuously drive Grieg Seafood, the rest of the salmon farming industry and the entire aquaculture sector towards more sustainable food production in the ocean.
Improving fish welfare
While only a few fish from millions of eggs survive in the wild, farming fish in captivity puts an ethical responsibility on us to safeguard our stocks’ survival, health, and welfare. While we have worked hard to improve survival rates and fish health in recent decades, much work remains to understand how we can improve animal welfare at our farms.
Reducing carbon emissions
While farmed salmon has a low carbon footprint compared to other animal proteins, our industry must still cut more to contribute to achieving the Paris Climate Agreement. New technologies must be developed to cut emissions in our operations and value chain.
Respecting human rights
We are committed to respect human rights in our operations, our value chain, and in the communities where we operate. We recognize our responsibility to prevent, mitigate, and address adverse human rights impacts connected to our business activities.
Supply chain
We require our suppliers to meet our standards on ethical business conduct, employee and labor rights, the environment, and care for local communities.

Our Certifications
To ensure that our local communities, customers and civil society can trust that we farm responsibly and with the highest standards, we certify our farms according to several recognized, third-party certifications.
