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.
Within the priority Education in Greenland, we focus on 2 subareas:
1. Building Competences in Greenland’s society
Sustainable Development Goal no. 4 concerns creating equal opportunities for education of high quality. At Royal Greenland, we convert this Sustainable Development Goal into a wish for far more education for those with the least education. We also wish to continue to upgrade the qualifications of our managers internally, and to support apprentices, trainees and students to a great extent.
Royal Greenland has a great need for many skilled employees at all levels and within many professions, and a lack of training and expertise can present both a financial and professional risk for the company. Royal Greenland is dedicated to contributing to developing skills in our society by offering trainees and apprentices practical training positions during short-, intermediate- and long-cycle higher education.
2. Royal Greenland Academy
The Academy coordinates initiatives that will contribute to a good workplace culture, where well-being and job satisfaction are key aspects, just as a large number of statutory courses are also administered via Royal Greenland Academy.
A large proportion of Royal Greenland’s production employees are unskilled. These employees’ skills and competences are developed continuously with professional courses offered by educational institutions, or as internal courses held by Royal Greenland Academy. The academy coordinates such initiatives as ”Sulisa+”, which contributes to achieving a good workplace culture, with focus on well-being and job satisfaction.
Additionally, there are also a large number of statutory courses that are also administered via Royal Greenland Academy.
The Academy offers ambitious training and further education initiatives to ensure that the Group is continuously developing skilled new managers, and which motivate individual employees to continue to do their best for the company.
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.
