Albert Heijn is setting a new standard for sustainable seafood in the Netherlands. They are the first to introduce farmed shrimp that are raised with significantly higher welfare standards and have a low marine footprint, a culmination of several years of collaboration between multiple supply chain partners.
Responding to the growing demand for sustainable Omega-3 EPA & DHA, Veramaris increased its production volume by 50% in 2023 (Baseline 2021). The company’s new sustainable development report shows how this was achieved with minimal increases in environmental footprint.
Veramaris has been granted the first market authorization in Canada for the inclusion of algal oil in feeds for salmonid species. This regulatory approval supports the ongoing growth of aquaculture in the country and aligns with the industry's long-term sustainability goals.
Veramaris has for the first time announced a Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) reduction target to reduce absolute Scope 3 emissions by 22.5% by 2030, compared to a 2021 baseline, further building on the company’s climate commitments.
Veramaris’ partnership with Manolin uses data collected from over 232 million fish and 99 farms to reveal meaningful benefits of higher dietary EPA & DHA levels on biological performance and harvest quality. These results empower farmers to increase their return on investment through nutritionally optimized salmon feed.
