Sustainability strategy
See more about our sustainability strategy.
Business model
Royal Greenland’s business model is based on value creation through responsible fishing and the purchase of wild-caught fish and shellfish, processing into high quality products and sales to local and international customers. Our mission is to maximize the value of our raw materials, for the benefit of our owners and the local communities in which we operate.
We have a great responsibility to act sustainably and minimize the environmental and climate impact of our activities at sea and on land. At all of our processing plants in Greenland, Canada and Germany we have a social and ethical responsibility to ensure that the workplace has a good physical and psychosocial working environment with a high level of well-being for employees.
Sustainability – the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals
Royal Greenland has built up a broad sustainability programme founded on our business strategy and based on four of the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals.
Responsible fishing
Our fisheries must be managed in accordance with the scientific advice and certified by an independent third party. We procure fish and shellfish according to equivalent principles and contribute to building knowledge of fisheries, the marine environment and new species.Our footprint
We will maximize the degree of utilisation by creating new food products from the fish and shellfish that we produce. We will minimize our environmental footprint through responsible consumption and circular handling of non-renewable resources.
Healthy working lives
We want to create an integrated occupational health and safety management system with an environmental management system, that protects the physical and psychological working environment and the well-being of all employees. We set the same requirements to our suppliers as we do to ourselves.Education in Greenland
We take great responsibility for competence development and education in Greenland's society, in close cooperation with educational institutions and via our own Royal Greenland Academy.
