We are proud to share a significant milestone in our sustainability journey: Havsbrún’s feed production facility has officially been certified to the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) Feed Standard.

This prestigious certification reflects our ongoing commitment to responsible feed production and sustainable aquaculture practices. The ASC Feed Standard establishes strict requirements for both environmental and social responsibility across the entire feed supply chain - from sourcing raw materials to production and traceability.

“This certification of Havsbrún is a major step towards our goal of having all our salmon ASC-certified,” says Regin Jacobsen, CEO of Bakkafrost.“It demonstrates the strength of our integrated value chain and our commitment to responsible aquaculture - from feed to fork.”
