Embracing Diversity at Mowi

At Mowi, equality, inclusion, and respect for diversity are the cornerstones of our corporate culture. We understand that diversity is critical to our success and we value the unique contributions that every individual makes. 

Mowi employs around 12,000 people in 26 countries worldwide, and we are focused on building a diverse workforce throughout the value chain. We work hard to create a workplace that is free from discrimination, and any recruitment, hiring, promotion, training, reward, and other advancement at the company is purely based on qualifications, performance, skills, and experience.

We have a responsibility to set the standard for diversity in the aquaculture industry by calling out bias and addressing stereotypes. The principles of equality, diversity and inclusion are built into our Code of Conduct –  fair, respectful, and ethical treatment of others is core to who we are.

Our commitment is not just a policy – it is a core value that shapes our actions and decisions. As part of our commitment, we have introduced a variety of measures and policies, including mandatory training on diversity and equal rights. We have also launched our global diversity and inclusion programme which encompasses three strategic areas:

• Seek diversity
• Create inclusion
• Drive accountability

Mandatory training on equal opportunities, non-discrimination and personal bias remains integral to the onboarding programme of every employee.

Our annual Diversity Day highlights the importance and the benefits that diversity brings to us all. With a focus on celebrating the differences that make each of us unique, our employees around the world are encouraged to review and reflect on how we each take responsibility for ensuring our workplace is equitable and inclusive.

“Diversity powers our innovation, drives our success, and enriches our workplace culture. We celebrate the individuality of our employees and recognise that each person’s unique journey contributes to our collective growth” Ivan Vindheim, Mowi CEO. 

We believe that a diverse and balanced workforce gives us an advantage in our business operation, our access to future talent, and maintaining our attractiveness as an employer. We will continue our efforts to build a strong culture and work together towards our diversity goals. With a focus on recognising and celebrating the differences around the world that make each of us unique, we can build a workplace in which diversity thrives and every voice is heard. Together, we can achieve greatness.
