Ode, Norway’s leading cod producer, has been awarded its first ASCcertification, the most rigorous and widely recognised sustainability, quality and responsibility standard in aquaculture. This makes Ode the first cod producer in the world certified against the standard of the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC).
ASC opened for certification of Atlantic cod in 2025, when cod was included in the revised ASC Salmon and Cod Standard v1.5. Ode is the first company to have completed a full audit and been awarded a certificate under the new standard.
This certification is a strong validation of Ode, the way we operate, and the products we provide our customers.
