Sustainability

At the heart of all we do

We take environmental responsibility

Environmentally friendly choices

At Akvakultur i Vesterålen (AIV), sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We work to create engaging experiences and knowledge dissemination that leave a mark – not in nature, but in people's consciousness.

We work with environmentally friendly choices in operations and communication. We take responsibility for both direct impacts – such as waste management, energy use and transport – and indirect impacts through our role in the value chain.

Through our work, we support several of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, particularly Goal 4 (Good Education), Goal 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) and Goal 14 (Life in the Ocean). We help to increase understanding of sustainable aquaculture among children, young people and adults – and inspire the next generation to make wise choices for the ocean and the environment. With programs such as SMART Seafood and Safe in Water, we provide thousands of students with insight into the values ​​of the ocean, safe navigation at sea and future career opportunities in an industry that is increasingly important for the world’s food security.

For us, sustainability is not just about operations – it's about attitudes, knowledge and the future.
