Optimize: Doing more with less

Optimize

Innovating and enhancing

Sustainable thinking drives everything we do. That means not only finding ways to work more efficiently within our business but helping increase fish efficiency through our products, so that our customers get the most from production while using fewer resources. Working this way is fundamental to us all reducing our impact on the ocean. By seeking to put fish nutrition first, we are harnessing the power of science and nature to do more with less and help protect our seas.

As stewards of the sea, we partner with organizations who share our values, such as the Sustainable Fisheries Partnership (SFP), the Global Salmon Initiative (GSI) and the Seafood Task Force to name a few. Together, we can help safeguard the ecosystem beneath the waves.

 

What it looks like in practice

Working with farmers to develop more sustainable farming practices. In 2019, our efforts at one farm site in western Norway helped reduce greenhouse gases (GHGs) equivalent to taking 170 cars off the road for a year.

Partnering with various organizations, from start-ups and businesses to research groups, to develop sustainable sources of nutrients from novel origins. Since 2018, Cargill has supported HATCH, the world’s first accelerator program for aquaculture start-ups.

Through partnerships like Seafood Business for Ocean Stewardship (SeaBOS) and Global Salmon Initiative (GSI), we’re working with customers, the food and retail industries, suppliers and even our competitors to advance and communicate understanding of seafood sustainability.

Our feed is designed to nourish fish while making sure the environmental footprint of aquaculture is as small as possible. Each ingredient in our feed has a job to do – whether that’s providing a source of protein and amino acids or supporting fish health – and these are expertly balanced to offer maximum efficiency.

Care: Safeguarding farmed fish

Healthy farmed fish play a powerful role in the health of communities – and the environment. So we put fish welfare at the top of our agenda. We take time and care to develop fish nutrition that promotes and enhances the health and welfare of farmed fish. We’re committed to educating our customers and working with them to make sure the fish in their care are managed to the highest standards.
