Other Media | iPac.aquaculture: Skretting Launches Its 2024 Impact Report

NORWAY
Thursday, June 19, 2025

In 2024, Skretting published its first impact report (2023 Impact Report) after years of publishing sustainability reports. This change was not just in name; it was intended to demonstrate that everything the company did had an impact on both the environment and society. This second impact report (2024 Impact Report) also comes with a new twist: in addition to documenting the progress made in its global operations, it marks the launch of a new sustainability value proposition, ACT. For Skretting, "sustainability is about taking action that drives real change and generates long-term value."
Hence this new ACT proposal, which stands for Action (doing what matters most and with impact), Connection (engaging the right stakeholders to accelerate change), and Transparency (being seen as a trusted advisor and providing accurate and appropriate information).
