In 2014, in a move to prepare the company for the future, Bakkafrost announced a capital investment plan for all sectors of their value chain. Since its announcement, the plan has been expanded and accelerated.
In 2018, Bakkafrost launched a new Healthy Living Fund to increase support for causes which are of greatest importance to us and our key stakeholders, particularly in areas where we have an impact, or are impacted.
The new fund supports our new sustainability plan, which is focused on promoting a healthy business, healthy people, healthy salmon, a healthy environment, and healthy communities.
By focusing investments in these areas, we hope to minimise our negative and maximise our positive social and environmental impacts, creating value predominantly at a local level.
This policy sets out the types of causes which we will consider supporting, thereby ensuring that all investments and donations are made in line with our principles.
