Hear our Corporate Senior Sustainability Advisor, Lisbeth Due Schönemann-Paul, describe our sustainability strategy.
Time:Business model
Royal Greenland’s business model is based on value creation through sustainable fishing and the purchase of wild-caught fish and shellfish, processing into quality products and sales to local and international customers. Our mission is to maximise the value of our raw materials, for the benefit of our owners and the local communities in which we operate.
Royal Greenland is the largest employer in Greenland and has 37 active facilities along the west coast of Greenland. For the same reason, many people in towns and settlements depend on long-term approach to the shared maritime resources.
We have a great responsibility to act sustainably and minimise the environmental and climate impact of our activities at sea and on land. At all of our processing plants in Greenland, Canada and Germany we have a social and ethical responsibility to ensure that the workplace has a good physical and psychosocial working environment with a high level of well-being for employees.
Sustainability – the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals
Royal Greenland has built up a broad sustainability programme founded on our business strategy and based on four of the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
