The 'G' in ESG: Improving our governance

In Kangamiut Seafood and the Kangamiut Group, we are continuously working actively to improve our governance structures.

 

Most recently we have:

 

  • simplified our organizational structure with the merger of Dansea Nordic and Northcoast Seafoods with Kangamiut Seafood to facilitate streamlining of our processes and procedures;
  • elevated the Sustainability as well as Food Safety & Quality functions to be represented in the management team;
  • professionalized and diversified our board of directors to profit from external expertise and equal representation of women and men in the board

 

In the end, a strong governance structure gives us the freedom to focus on what we do best: developing and nurturing strong partnerships across the seafood value chain.

Food Safety & Quality

For us, delivering the highest quality seafood is of paramount importance. We are careful in our selection of suppliers to ensure that we can be confident in the quality of the products that we source.

 

Our food safety and quality management processes ensure that we can supply products that meet international food safety standards and that are authentic and high-quality. Our products come with full traceability and comply with current legislation to be fully aligned with our customers’ food safety and quality expectations.

Supplier Collaboration for Good Governance

Our Supplier Code of Conduct describes our governance as well as environmental and social social standards that we ask Kangamiut Seafood suppliers to uphold. It includes expectations on legal and information compliance, management systems and oversight, worker grievance, sanctions and boycotts.

 

Our internal Approved Supplier program helps us to risk assess suppliers in line with our Supplier Code of Conduct. We work hand in hand with our suppliers to help foster improvements in their sustainability practices.

Anti-Corruption & Ethics

At Kangamiut Seafood, we maintain a zero-tolerance approach to corruption, bribery, fraud and money laundering. Our Anti-Corruption & Ethics Policy sets out the standards and principles that guide our business conduct and applies across our operations and business relationships. Any breach of these principles may lead to disciplinary action, including employment termination and potential legal prosecution.

 

Transparency and accountability are at the core of how we operate. We encourage employees and partners to report any suspected misconduct either directly to executive management, or through our whistleblower reporting scheme, which ensures anonymity and protection for those who speak up.
