Sustainability

Sustainable business operation is a natural part of Royal Greenland’s identity. Our sustainability programme is based on four priorities within the framework of the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals, with goals for 2022 and ambitions for 2030.

• Sustainability - the natural choice
  We want to base our business on sustainable fisheries, making full use of the available resources, and thereby ensuring an economic and social foundation in the countries in which we operate.
• Sustainable fishing
  Our fisheries must be managed in accordance with the scientific advice and be certified by an independent third party. We procure fish and shellfish according to equivalent principles and contribute to building knowledge of sustainable fisheries, the marine environment and new species.
• Responsible footprint
  Our goal is to maximise the degree of utilisation of raw materials by creating new food products from the fish and shellfish that we produce. We also minimise our environmental footprint through responsible consumption and circular handling of non-renewable resources.
• Healthy working lives
  We want to create an integrated occupational health and safety management system (OHSMS) and environmental management system (EMS) that protects the physical and psychological working environment and the well-being of all employees. We make the same requirements of our suppliers as we make of ourselves.
• Education in Greenland
  We take great responsibility for competence development and education in Greenland's society, in close cooperation with educational institutions and via our own Royal Greenland Academy.
