Without a radical shift in our approach, these pressures are only set to intensify if we are to meet the needs of a growing and ageing population.

The planetary crisis, coupled with growing global health challenges, present us with a huge opportunity to look for new ways of producing, transporting and consuming food.
Aquaculture has been identified as a sustainable solution to meet this increasing demand for healthy and nutritious protein and farmed Atlantic salmon is well-placed as it offers high levels of omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin D, selenium and B vitamins. It is also one of the most efficient ways of using natural resources to produce protein: it has a comparatively low carbon footprint, high-energy and protein-retention-efficiency, and a low water-footprint. Ensuring a sustainable source of feed is a key part of this equasion.

Our company is breaking new ground in the world’s fastest growing food-system. Our approach is in itself innovative, particularly in the Chinese market, where we have an opportunity to develop a model that is sustainable from the outset. Our approach is based on growing healthy food, sustainably, and close-to-market.

To help us achieve this, in early 2023, we embarked on a materiality assessment to help us determine the environmental social and governance (ESG) topics which are most relevant to our activity today, as we ramp-up production.

This process has helped us narrow-in on the most critical dependencies and impacts we have on natural, human and relationship capital so we can build the business sustainably.
