UN development goals

The United Nations has stated that a profound change of the global food and agriculture system is needed to nourish the current estimated 765 million hungry people around the world, with an additional two billion hungry people worldwide by 2050.

To meet the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) we need to rethink current food systems and find a new approach, which ensures global food security, positively contributes to human health, and reduces strains on our environment. A larger share of our food must come from the ocean, from aquaculture.

Cermaq’s strategy is aligned to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and we focus on 5 goals where we can have the largest impact. 

  • SDG 2 – No Hunger
  • SDG 8 - Good Jobs and Economic Growth
  • SDG 12 - Responsible Consumption
  • SDG 13 – Climate Action; and in particular
  • SDG 14 – Life Under Water

Our employees conduct monthly beach and ocean clean up programs, and we partner with local community groups on large-scale beach and habitat restoration projects. Every little bit helps.
