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.
We pursue an integrated sustainability strategy aligned with the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). In this strategy, long-term targets have been established for all of our guiding principles.
Approximately 70% of our planet is covered by water, yet only around 2% of the world’s food supply comes from the ocean.
With wild-capture fisheries under increasing pressure, it is important that aquaculture bridges this gap, assuming an increasingly greater role in providing food security for the planet.
At Mowi, we believe that by farming the ocean, we can sustainably produce healthy, nutritious and affordable food for society at large
Not only the carbon footprint of farm-raised salmon is lower but its edible yield is higher (68%) as compared to chicken (46%), pork (52%) or lamb (38%). For Mowi, high edible yields combined with 100% re-use of by-products (i.e.offcuts and trimmings) means that nearly every single gram of salmon is used.
Mowi is at the forefront of technological advances transforming aquaculture industry practices. However, one company alone cannot solve all sustainability challenges. Mowi is engaged with multiple stakeholders to promote open and honest dialogue and ensure the constant improvement of regulations and environmentally and socially responsible practices.
A Blue Revolution can only happen if we are all willing to accelerate our learnings and embrace change.
Seafood Business for Ocean Stewardship (SeaBOS) is an initiative resulting from a series of Keystone Dialogues between scientists and seafood companies
Mowi Scotland is committed to provide its customers products certified to a Global Sustainable Seafood Initiative (GSSI)-recognised standard, such as the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC).
Mowi Scotland has been going beyond its regulatory compliance obligations and investigating the wider biodiversity in the marine environment surrounding fish farm sites. Advancing our understanding of the marine environment our fish farms operate within is important so we can ensure we are able to grow our salmon in a healthy environment on the west
Rural and coastal communities across Scotland are renowned for their self-sufficiency and resilience. And Mowi is proud to support those communities in any way it can. One such example is its support of Isle of Skye Smokehouse and, most recently, the support of owner John’s dog, Bruno! Mowi has provided salmon to Isle of Skye
Mowi is to become the first company in Scotland to brand feedpipes in a bid to reduce and identify sources of marine waste. The aquaculture industry works hard to prevent any marine debris from farms, which can be caused by extreme weather, however, the debris often comes from other industries and even other countries brought
