SUSTAINABILITY

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.

Our business directly depends on a resilient supply of natural resources. We recognise our role in supporting healthy ecosystems through the fish and shellfish procurement choices that we make — from the suppliers we work with to the products we trade.

By supporting responsibly sourced and produced seafood and promoting sustainable practices across our operations and supply chains, our aim is to have a positive impact towards the long-term viability of our seafood sector.

PEOPLE

At Kangamiut Seafood, we recognise that our success depends on the wellbeing, safety, and commitment of the people who make up our supply chain — from fishers and processors to our own teams. We see social responsibility as fundamental to every trading decision and partnership, and we aspire to contribute to better working conditions and social progress wherever we operate.

We care deeply about the people behind our business. Kangamiut Seafood provides strong employee benefits, professional development opportunities and a social and cultural program to help employees grow and thrive. We are proud to have a team of exceptionally skilled and engaged colleagues, reflected in employee satisfaction and engagement levels well above the national average in our 2022 employee well-being survey. This survey is conducted every three years, so we look forward to the results of the 2025 survey and to again using this important feedback towards improving the employment experience at Kangamiut

GOVERNANCE
At Kangamiut Seafood, we are continuously strengthening our governance structures to ensure transparency, accountability, and effective decision-making across our business.

In recent years, we have:

Simplified our organisational structure including the merger of Dansea Nordic and Northcoast Seafoods with Kangamiut Seafood to streamline processes and procedures

Elevated the Sustainability and Food Safety & Quality functions to sit as distinct business units at Leadership Group level

Professionalised and diversified our Board of Directors to bring in external expertise and ensure equal representation of women and men

Strong governance gives us the foundation and freedom to focus on what we do best — developing and nurturing lasting partnerships within the seafood industry.

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

The natural choice for us is MSC (wild caught) or ASC (farmed) certified seafood products. Natural, because not only are we responsible for supporting responsible fishing practices to secure resources for future generations – the future of our business itself depends on sustainable fishing practices!

Therefore, the vast majority of our products are MSC or ASC certified, and we work actively to promote sustainable 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
