Norway Royal Salmon's reported carbon emissions
In 2020, Norway Royal Salmon reported total carbon emissions of approximately 5,915,000 kg CO2e, comprising about 5,915,000 kg CO2e from Scope 1 and 59,000 kg CO2e from Scope 2 emissions. This marked a notable increase from previous years, with emissions in 2019 at about 5,388,000 kg CO2e for Scope 1 and 53,000 kg CO2e for Scope 2. The company has not disclosed any specific reduction targets or initiatives aimed at decreasing its carbon footprint, nor has it committed to any climate pledges or SBTi (Science Based Targets initiative) reduction targets. This lack of formal commitments may reflect broader industry challenges in addressing climate change impacts within aquaculture. Overall, while Norway Royal Salmon has provided emissions data for the past years, it currently lacks a structured approach to reducing its carbon emissions, which is increasingly critical in the context of global climate commitments.
