For Mowi, environmental sustainability means operating a business that is environmentally responsible, socially beneficial and economically viable. We recognize environmental integrity, transparency and innovation as key values. Our commitment to environmental sustainability includes:
Farm Sea Lice Abundance Reporting
Juvenile Wild Salmon Sea Lice Monitoring
Sea Water Data: sea temperature, dissolved oxygen, salinity, clarity
Our corporate ethos rests ultimately on the belief that by farming the ocean we can sustainably produce healthy, nutritious and affordable food for society at large. Our stewardship of the environment is essential to reach our long-term goals and to safeguard the interests of future generations.
