Cermaq awarded by Compassion in World Farming for leading animal welfare through welfare practices for humane slaughter of its salmon. “Fish welfare has always had top priority in Cermaq, and we appreciate that fish welfare is getting more and more important to customers and consumers. We focus on welfare throughout all stages of production, including the termination of life. In Cermaq we can guarantee human slaughter practices,” says Lars Galtung , Cermaq’s Chief Officer for Communication and Sustainability. #fishwelfare #salmonfarming https://lnkd.in/dSX_PXZa

Cermaq launches sustainability report based on EU’s CSRD regulation, adapted to its financial year. “For us, fish health and welfare has become the core priority, In the report we describe our preventive approach as vaccination, screening and monitoring in each of the operating regions, Norway, Chile and Canada, says Chief Sustainability Officer, Lars Galtung . Cermaq also presents its actions to limit the global temperature with 35 % from 2019. The emissions from Cermaq’s own operations have been reduced with 10% per ton from 2022. Cermaq will develop an updated climate transition plan towards 2030 in the coming year. Feed constitutes a major part of the impact of salmon farming, various aspects of feed impacts appear across many chapters as the chapters are aligned to the EU standards. Marine resources, purchase of all feed ingredients, waste management, fish health, and workers in the value chain, to mention a few where feed has an impact on outside stakeholders. #Sustainability #CSRD #Fishwelfare #Climate #Stakeholder https://lnkd.in/dYXSadWs

We are happy to see that a two-year extension has been granted to the North East Atlantic blue whiting Fishery Improvement Project (FIP), demonstrating that the market-led approach to improve North Atlantic pelagic fisheries management has impact. Certified Blue Whiting plays an important role in fish feed for salmon. Great work by North Atlantic Pelagic Advocacy Group (NAPA) and all dedicated ocean stewards who have engaged, including Cermaq's Tibiábin Benítez-Santana . #BlueWhiting #fisherymanagement #pelagic #aquaculture https://lnkd.in/dkxNJdpb

Just launched 📣 Global Salmon Initiative ’s annual Sustainability Report! This report, which now includes 11 years of global environmental and social sustainability data, showcases the transformative power of collaboration in driving measurable progress. As members of GSI, we provide consistent reporting on eco-efficiency in feed, sea lice treatment, antibiotic use, and more. While it’s encouraging to see our collective progress, we know there's much more to be done. As Cermaq from this year will adapt its company reporting towards the CRDS framework and aligned with our financial year from 1 April to 30 March, our sustainability report will be launched only in second half of 2024. #SustainableSeafood #fishhealth #report Dive deeper into the GSI report here: https://lnkd.in/dU7uytap

We are veery happy that Bjørn Kristensen is doing his ph.d. on the first fully integrated marine facility built for the combined production of both salmon and kelp, where the kelp will be grown inside the farm itself. The kelp can then absorb the nutrient salts from the fish, which would otherwise be wasted. The facility in Steigen, is owned by Folla Alger and operated by Cermaq Norway AS . - Getting to do my PhD at a fully integrated marine facility for the co-production of salmon and kelp, where we really get to test theory in practice, is really cool, says Bjørn Kristensen. Together with the project group, he will find out when in the year it pays to put out kelp, and whether there are any positive effects that it grows together with the salmon. 🐟 The project is called AURORA IMTA and headed by SINTEF Ocean. #research #knowledge #kelp #multitrophicaquaculture #IMTA #salmonfarming
