For SalMar Aker Ocean, people are the most important resource. We aim to produce sustainable food in a safe manner that protects employees and the environment while creating value for society through jobs and business development.
Our employees should have a safe workplace with a strong focus on safety, which is essential for operating in exposed locations. Working in challenging weather conditions can involve risks, and a strong health, safety, and environment (HSE) culture with an emphasis on safety helps reduce the risk of accidents. This is a key focus at SalMar Aker Ocean and is crucial to ensuring a safe working environment for our people.
At SalMar Aker Ocean, we are aware of our responsibility beyond our own operations and the influence we have through the value chain of our salmon. We are committed to ensuring a responsible value chain where we hold our suppliers and partners to the same high standards that we set for ourselves.
SalMar Aker Ocean is part of the SalMar group and is therefore included in SalMar’s reporting under the Transparency Act. See the link below.
