Mowi was ranked as the world's most sustainable protein producer for the second year in a row. The company was joined in the top ten by Bakkafrost, which owns The Scottish Salmon Company, Grieg Seafoods and Leroy, which is joint owner of Scottish Sea Farms.
Commending the four members for their top ten ranking in FAIRR Index, Tavish Scott, chief executive of Scottish Salmon Producers Organisation said:
"Congratulations to Mowi, the Scottish Salmon Company, Grieg Seafoods and Scottish Sea Farms. This achievement demonstrates the world-leading standards in salmon farming. It's a further endorsement of both the way Scottish salmon farmers operate now and their capacity to continue to innovate and deliver sustainable, healthy food in a highly responsible way."
