NEWS 90 FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE September 2023 Among Norway's 100 largest companies, nine are successfully reducing emissions as mandated, with four hailing from the aquaculture sector. The Climate Index, an annual overview of the climate impact of Norway's 100 largest companies, is compiled by audit firm PwC, drawing from the companies' annual and sustainability reports. The 2023 Climate Index, unveiled during Arendal Week, positions Skretting among Norway's top nine performers. "The progress is too slow,” says Hanne Løvstad, Partner and Head of Sustainability and Climate Services at PwC during her presentation at Arendal Week. "While 22 out of 100 companies exhibit emission cuts in their operations and value chains, only nine of these align with the Paris Agreement.” Løvstad's presentation spotlighted the aquaculture industry, wherein three major aquaculture producers showcase emissions reductions of at least seven percent. Løvstad pointed to Skretting as assisting the industry in achieving its climate objectives, given that feed significantly contributes to the salmon's carbon footprint. "This underscores our recent successes, and it's impressive to witness the aquaculture sector leading Norway's climate efforts," states Leif Kjetil Skjæveland, Sustainability Manager and Community Liaison at Skretting Norway. PwC defines climate champions by their transparent, consistent climate reporting over the years. The top-ranked entities must also meet the Paris Agreement's baseline emission cut requirements, averaging at least seven percent annually over the past three years. Skretting Norway's climate footprint last year stood at 1.77 CO2 equivalents per kilogram of fish feed produced, a remarkable 46 percent decrease from the 2018 baseline.
