Sustainability at
Kangamiut Seafood

At Kangamiut Seafood, we recognise that our own future as a company depends on the health of global fish and shellfish populations and the habitats that sustain them. Just as importantly, we rely on the skill, dedication and wellbeing of the people who make up our supply chain - from fishers and processors to our own teams who bring seafood to markets around the world.

 

The seafood industry faces complex challenges that demand collective action. Through our sustainability and ESG data efforts, we are working to better understand our impact, strengthen transparency, and, together with our supply chain partners, support a more responsible and resilient seafood sector.

 

In fact, in our parent company Kangamiut Group, more than 10% of our profits have been re-invested into sustainability related projects since 2020.

We are certified traders, and we aim to deal with certified suppliers

The preferred choice for us is MSC (wild caught) or ASC (farmed) certified seafood products. Preferred, because we recognize the importance of safeguarding natural resources for future generations, while acknowledging that the long term success of our business depends on responsible fishing practices.

 

Therefore we work actively to promote responsible fishing by continuously supporting our suppliers’ certification efforts.

 

Our MSC and ASC Chain of Custody certification is your third-party verified guarantee that products are traceable and separated from non-certified products.

ASC: Aquaculture Stewardship Council

 

Ambitious certification programme to transform the world's seafood markets and promote the best environmental and social aquaculture performance

MSC: Marine Stewardship Council

 

International non-profit organisation that recognises and rewards efforts to protect oceans and safeguard seafood supplies for the future
