Cermaq is a seafood for a healthy future founded in 2016.
Responsible aquaculture and salmon farming are a part of the solution, and Cermaq has the ambition to contribute both by producing more high-quality healthy seafood with a low carbon footprint, and by working in partnerships to improve ocean health, climate action, and governance.
To meet the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) we need to rethink current food systems and find a new approach, which ensures global food security, positively contributes to human health, and reduces strains on our environment. A larger share of our food must come from the ocean, from sustainable aquaculture.
The planet is not getting any bigger, but our population is. The global population is expected to grow to over 9.5 billion people by 2050, this is almost 2 billion more people than in 2020.
Our planet is becoming warmer. Going forward, we must continue to reduce the impact food production has on the climate and on our limited natural resources. Cermaq will cut its GHG emissions by 35% by 2030 (SBTi).
