Deforestation and Responsible Sourcing Policy

All fish feed used by Arnarlax is certified by ProTerra or an equivalent certifier on the deforestation risk connected to the production of the feed resources. Arnarlax demands that all feed comes solely from deforestation risk-free soy and have to date achieved its gross and net zero deforestation commitments. These commitments are approved at the highest level in Arnarlax and implemented throughout the organisation.

Deforestation risks are continuously followed up with our feed suppliers. It is important to Arnarlax to put pressure on its feed suppliers to become deforestation free, not only in its deliveries to Arnarlax , but in its entire value chains. To achieve this, Arnarlax are in continuous dialogue with suppliers, evaluating risk assessments and discussing their commitments to follow up their suppliers on this issue. Through fruitful discussions and dedication, Arnarlax has traceability on its feed resources, and can disclose that none originate from high-risk areas for deforestation. Arnarlax's performance and certification percentages are disclosed in the annual report.

Arnarlax is dedicated to responsible sourcing and has continuous dialogue with feed suppliers on their nutrient management plans. This comprises both the exploration of novel feed ingredients but also improvements on current sourcing practices. This is an important part of Arnarlax's sustainability efforts within its supply chain. For more information, see Arnarlax's annual report.
