Mowi

At Mowi, the health and welfare of our salmon are at the heart of everything we do. We are committed to advancing sustainable practices to ensure the well-being of our fish. One of the most important advancements in modern aquaculture is post-smolt processing. This innovative approach allows us to rear larger, more resilient salmon before they enter our open sea pens. By reducing the time our salmon spend at sea, we reduce our environmental footprint whilst producing high-quality salmon products to feed consumers worldwide. Our post-smolt strategy is already delivering success and will remain a key priority for Mowi as we continue to realise its benefits.

At Mowi, the health and welfare of our salmon is our top priority to ensure they have the best start in life. Like wild salmon, farmed-raised salmon spend the first part of their life growing in freshwater before they are transferred to our sea-based sites when they are physically ready. When at sea, the fish stay in our net pens for up to two years until they are big enough to be harvested for market. Swipe to learn ️some interesting facts about our net pens! ➡️

As we celebrate Earth Day, we recognise the potential of aquaculture to produce more sustainable food and be a solution to climate change. Mowi is committed to the Paris Agreement to limit global temperatures to 1.5˚C. Our climate roadmap identifies our strategic actions towards achieving our Science-Based Targets aligned with 1.5˚C. In 2024, we were delighted to achieve key milestones such as: ✅ Ranked #1 in the Coller FAIRR Protein Producer Index for the sixth year. ✅ Reduced scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 39% since 2019. ✅ 100% of harvest volumes were sustainably certified with a Global Sustainable Seafood Initiative (GSSI) recognised standard (ASC, BAP or Global GAP). ✅ 100% sustainably sourced feed. We're proud of our achievements so far and are committed to protecting the future of our planet.

At Mowi, we believe in sharing knowledge about our industry and supporting the next generation of professionals who will shape the future of sustainable aquaculture. Mowi works with schools and universities worldwide to present career opportunities in aquaculture, and we regularly welcome students to our farms to discuss salmon farming and its importance in feeding a growing global population. Mowi Scotland recently hosted SRUC (Scotland’s Rural College) School of Veterinary Medicine at our Inchmore and Loch Alsh farms. Students gained practical experience in our business operations and carried out a fish health check led by our health team. We hope that this experience will inspire some of the students to become Mowi vets in the future, and we look forward to welcoming more students throughout the year.

Mowi is at the forefront of technological advancements in aquaculture, and we are leading the way in sustainable salmon farming and food production. Our vision of Leading the Blue Revolution requires us to be industry leaders in research and development and technical innovation. By harnessing cutting-edge technologies, Mowi’s research and development team is revolutionising fish farming and driving sustainability. Last year, we continued our digitalisation and automation journey using our MOWInsight platform for data analytics to assist with our SMART Farming concept. Our advances in SMART Farming are transforming how we farm at sea and manage fish health, welfare, and biological challenges with real-time monitoring of our fish and the environment.

Today, our Chief Technology and Sustainability Officer, Catarina Martins, joined industry leaders in London at the Blue Food Innovation Summit to discuss the critical role of blue foods in global food security. As part of a panel session on elevating Blue Foods, Catarina shared insights on how technology, innovation, and regulatory frameworks are essential to advancing sustainable aquaculture. Catarina said: “It was an honour to be part of today’s session. The world needs more Blue Foods, and it’s inspiring to see so many start ups and investment all going into elevating blue foods.” Learn more about the Blue Food Innovation Summit: bluefoodinnovation.com/

As the world’s largest salmon producer, we are committed to harnessing the untapped potential of the ocean to produce sustainable food for a growing global population. This purpose drives us every day. Our collective efforts in 2024 helped us achieve the following: ✅ Ranked #1 in the Coller FAIRR Protein Producer Index for the 6th consecutive year.
 ✅ Reduced Scope 1 & 2 GHG emissions by 39% since 2019.
 ✅ 100% of our 2024 harvest volume certified under GSSI-recognised standards (ASC, BAP, or Global GAP)
 ✅ 100% of our feed is sustainably sourced according to Mowi’s policy. Mowi’s Chief Sustainability and Technology Officer Catarina Martins said: “In 2024, we were once again recognised as the world’s most sustainable animal protein producer in the Coller FAIRR Index. We have also advanced our digitalisation and automation efforts across all business areas and updated our science-based targets to align with the 1.5°C goal, setting even more ambitious emission reduction targets across scopes 1, 2, and 3 by 2030. But we won’t stop there. We’ll continue innovating to meet our ambitious targets and drive positive change for our planet.” Learn more in our annual report: https://bit.ly/4l0vjsg

We all know that salmon is one of the healthiest proteins we can eat, and according to new research published in Nature Ageing, Omega-3, the essential fatty acid found in oily fish, could also slow biological ageing. Led by Heike Bischoff-Ferrari from the Department of Geriatrics and Ageing Research at the University of Zurich, participants of the health trial took omega-3 supplements for three years and were found to have aged three months less, as measured by biological markers. However, those who combined omega-3 with vitamin D and regular strength training showed the most significant anti-ageing effects. This study adds to growing evidence that lifestyle choices, including having a healthy diet, vitamins, and regular exercise, can help slow the ageing process.
