1. We listen to our stakeholders
As a global seafood company, our activities influence a diverse group of stakeholders. At the same time, our stakeholders’ viewpoints and decisions also have an impact of the success of our business.

2. We prioritize
In a world of constant change, our materiality assessment helps to identify and prioritise sustainability issues across our value chain. An issue is material to Mowi when it impacts both our business and it is important to our stakeholders. Materiality is a useful tool Mowi most material value drivers to support the development of Leading the Blue Revolution Plan.
