Salmar Farming AS's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from SalMar ASA

Salmar Farming AS, headquartered in Norway, currently does not report specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of emissions figures. The company is a current subsidiary of SalMar ASA, which may influence its climate commitments and reporting practices. While there are no documented reduction targets or specific climate pledges from Salmar Farming AS, it is important to note that any climate initiatives or targets may be inherited from its parent company, SalMar ASA.
