SalMar ASA

SalMar ASA (SalMar) has a Net Maturity Score of 42/100, placing it in the first quartile of the index. The company is involved in salmon farming. SalMar has the second-highest score in the index on Water Scarcity (61/100). The company conducts regular risk assessments and only operates its processing facilities in low water-stress regions. SalMar requires feed suppliers to establish water use reduction targets and develop water risk mitigation strategies. On Animal Welfare, SalMar has the third-highest score in the index (51/100), driven by its Fish Health and Fish Welfare Policy, which applies across its operations. The company also reports on internal and external inspections, indicator tracking and certifications. SalMar also has the third-highest score in the index for Greenhouse Gas Emissions (48/100), setting time-bound targets across Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions and leveraging green bond and credit facilities to align its capital and operational expenditures with these. Seafood Traceability (25/100) is one area for improvement. While SalMar has a target for 100% certified feed, it does not have a public policy on traceability or disclose details on how it will achieve its targets. On Antibiotic Stewardship (40/100), the company’s lack of disclosure on the policies and processes in place for suppliers restricts its score. SalMar also provides limited disclosures on opportunity topics such as Protein Diversification (8/100) and Unfed Aquaculture (0/100). The company interacted with FAIRR during the 2025/26 benchmarking cycle.
