Did you know?

At Bakkafrost, we are highly engaged in the society in which we operate. We aim to encourage a company culture of community engagement and support for local initiatives, empowering initiatives towards a healthy and sustainable future.

We are committed to a clean environment and contribute to the well-being of nature by organizing annual clean-up days and support local clean-up initiatives, investing both manpower and equipment into the effort of securing biodiversity and nature health.
Moreover, we continuously look for meaningful partnerships and collaborations like “The Outer Hebrides Local Energy Hub”, a multisector partnership delivered by The Scottish Salmon Company in partnership with Pure Energy Centre, Community Energy Scotland and local Council, Comhairle nan Eilean Siar, focusing on the creation of a local circular energy economy, including solution to waste management and energy challenges.
Bakkafrost is a founding member of the Faroese Sustainable Business Initiative “Burðardygt Vinnulív” which aims to be a catalyst for Faroese businesses to reach sustainability goals, and in addition advance sustainable business practice in the Faroe Islands.

As the biggest employer in the Faroe Islands, we are aware of our responsibility and motivated by our impact on local communities. We are very proud of our talented and diverse workforce, which consists of employees with different skills and different backgrounds. To ensure all employees are included in society, we offer employees to join classes in Faroese language, and moreover through induction courses, we aim to support employees in general matters regarding living in the Faroe Islands.
