Sustainability

We've developed a strict traceability program that allows you to follow your seafood's journey every step of the way. With complete transparency, we answer these key questions:

1. What Species is it?
2. Where is it from?
3. What boat caught it?
4. How was it caught?
5. Where was it landed?

We're committed to minimizing our environmental impact at every stage, from ocean to your plate.

This graph illustrates the carbon footprint of our fish, highlighting the different contributing factors. As you can see, we're dedicated to reducing our impact in each area through:

1. Responsible Fishing: We prioritize line-caught fish to reduce damage to fish habitats.
2. Reduced Food Waste: We operate a lean supply chain, sourcing fish only after orders are placed. This minimizes waste and ensures maximum freshness.
3. Efficient Transportation: We optimize our transportation routes and utilize fuel-efficient methods.
4. Renewable Energy: Our Icelandic partners utilize hydroelectric and geothermal energy for processing and packaging.

Due to Iceland's long history of regulating its fisheries through a strict quota system, stocks have grown healthily. This means less time and fuel are used to catch the fish, minimizing our carbon footprint.

Choosing seafood from Salties is a more sustainable option than other animal proteins. As you can see, our carbon footprint is significantly lower than that of beef, pork, and poultry.

Interestingly, our fish has a carbon footprint more similar to fruits and vegetables than other animal proteins. This highlights the environmental benefits of choosing Salties seafood.
