Nordlaks's reported carbon emissions

In 2023, Nordlaks reported a production emission factor of approximately 3,250 kg CO2e per tonne of fish produced, reflecting their operational impact in the aquaculture sector. This figure represents an increase from 2022, where the production emission factor was about 2,850 kg CO2e per tonne. Currently, Nordlaks has not disclosed specific data regarding Scope 1, 2, or 3 emissions, nor have they set formal reduction targets or climate pledges. The absence of defined reduction initiatives suggests that while they are aware of their carbon footprint, they may still be in the early stages of formalising their climate commitments. As a company operating in the fish and crustacean sector, Nordlaks is positioned within an industry that is increasingly scrutinised for its environmental impact. The focus on sustainable practices and emissions reduction is critical for future compliance and market competitiveness.
