Mowi released the results of an environmental study confirming the full recovery of the seabed following the closure of the Isle of Ewe salmon farm, located off the northwest coast of Scotland. The research is part of the company's recent biodiversity strategy, which reinforces its commitment to a healthy environment and responsible ocean farming.
According to the company, a healthy marine environment is essential for fish welfare and successful farming, which is why the sector operates under some of the strictest environmental protection regulations in the world. "Before a farm is approved, extensive work is carried out to ensure it will not have long-term impacts on the environment," the company stated. Once operations begin, a permanent monitoring system is implemented.

In 2024, Skretting published its first impact report (2023 Impact Report) after years of publishing sustainability reports. This change was not just in name; it was intended to demonstrate that everything the company did had an impact on both the environment and society. This second impact report (2024 Impact Report) also comes with a new twist: in addition to documenting the progress made in its global operations, it marks the launch of a new sustainability value proposition, ACT. For Skretting, "sustainability is about taking action that drives real change and generates long-term value."
Hence this new ACT proposal, which stands for Action (doing what matters most and with impact), Connection (engaging the right stakeholders to accelerate change), and Transparency (being seen as a trusted advisor and providing accurate and appropriate information).

Aquaculture technology firm GroAqua has begun towing what it describes as the world’s largest fish feed barge to a Bakkafrost salmon farming site, where it is expected to go into immediate operation.
