Where applicable, data has been calculated according to industry standard GSI formulas.
NB this data is now restated for the whole company, not only the farming division, as has been previously reported to the Global Salmon Initiative.
In calculating ‘lost days’, Bakkafrost includes only scheduled work days, beginning the day after the accident or injury.
In calculation 'lost day rate', Bakkafrost includes the number of 'lost days' due to injury. Calculated as: (Total number of lost days/total number of working hours)x 180,000.
In calculating 'lost time injury rate', Bakkafrost includes the number of injuries at work and work-related, including fatalities, leading to unfitness for work and absence from the next working day or working shift between January – December. Calculated as: (Total number of lost time injuries/total number of working hours) x 1,000,000.
Number of fatalities of workers and contractors working at company premises between January – December.
All absence related to one's own personal health. Calculated as: Total number of absent days/Total work days
Occupational disease rate is not available.

The table above outlines the energy consumption and GHG emissions for scope 1, 2 and 3 between 2020 and 2022. Please note:
• Energy consumption and GHG emissions are now reported from our selected base year (2020) to the most recent reporting period.
• As of 2022, energy consumption and GHG emissions for Bakkafrost Faroe Islands, US, UK, Scotland and Munkebo (Denmark) are reported together. This includes energy consumption from: • Bakkafrost Faroe Islands - biogas, broodstock, hatcheries, farming, harvesting, processing (including smokery), packaging used for fishmeal, oil and feed production, and biogas production to be sold to the national grid. • Bakkafrost US - fishmeal, oil and feed, packaging which we produce and sell to other fish farmers, and service vessels used for other farms. • Bakkafrost UK – office energy consumption. • Bakkafrost Scotland - all our farming, harvesting, and processing operations. • Munkebo Denmark – site energy consumption.
• Our two-and-a-half-year production cycle means there is some variability in production. Environmental data will be impacted by this, and trends will be most meaningful over a four-year period. This should be taken into account when comparing data.
• Electricity consumption (Scope 2) gives rise to indirect emissions, i.e. via combustion of fossil fuels by the power company to generate energy. Direct emissions (Scope 1) result from the combustion of fossil fuels, i.e. solid, liquid or gas for heating, creating propulsion in vessels etc.
• The methodology used for the carbon accounting is The Greenhouse Gas Protocol, a Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard (Revised Edition).
• We quantified our indirect scope 3 emissions for Bakkafrost Faroe Islands in 2019, and Bakkafrost Scotland in 2021. We reviewed the 15 Scope 3 categories of the GHG Protocol and identified 9 that were material for which there was good primary evidence available to estimate associated emissions. Using industry carbon benchmark data, we estimated the emissions associated with each category. This included downstream transportation and distribution of products, purchased goods or services, use of sold products, end-oflife treatment of sold products, upstream transportation and distribution, employee commuting, business travel, fuel and energy related activities and waste generated in operations. Since undertaking the initial exercise, we have added processing of sold products for sold oil and waste products. We endeavor to report this figure on an annual basis. We are aware that, in future, further categories may be included within the scope of our Scope 3 calculation.
• We have also re-confirmed the materiality of capital goods emissions for Bakkafrost Faroe Islands and Bakkafrost Scotland in the 2022 scope 3 footprint, in order to be able to continue to justify its exclusion. Capital Goods emissions are not included within the reported Scope 3 figures from 2020 to 2022.
• We have made improvements to the methodology of the scope 3 calculation in 2022. As a result, the 2020 value for Scope 3 has decreased by 11% compared to what was published in last year’s report. The 2021 figure has decreased by 6%. The main reason for the reduction is the exclusion of embodied feed emissions supplied from Bakkafrost Faroe Islands to Bakkafrost Scotland, which are captured under Scope 1 and 2 emissions, and the removal of capital goods emissions from Bakkafrost Scotland, which were previously reported under Scope 3 emissions.
• We have implemented a new KPI which now benchmarks annual Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions against tonnes of sold product rather than salmon produced. This KPI is more representative of Bakkafrost’s operations and takes account of all salmon, fish feed, meal and oils sold.
• The chosen consolidation approach for emissions was operational control. All figures are direct consumption reported for each Business Unit, multiplied by an energy conversion factor (as appropriate) and carbon emission factor per unit consumed.
• Estimates were made for Scotland Ferry business travel between August – December. No other estimates have been made for missing or incomplete data from across the operations of Bakkafrost.
• All emission and conversion factors for direct emissions (Scope 1) are from BEIS [UK] 2022’s dataset, while emission factors for electricity use are based on the most recent statistical data available obtained from IEA, BEIS, or direct from Umhvørvisstovan, the Faroe Islands Environment Agency.
• Tonnes of Carbon Dioxide equivalent (tCO2 e) has been calculated and stated here – this then takes account of the global warming potential attributed to the other two key greenhouse gases associated with combustion of fossil fuels, in addition to carbon-dioxide (CO2 ), i.e. methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O).
