Sustainability

Increasing human pressure on earth’s fragile environment has heightened consumer awareness of the effects of food production systems on ecosystems. The mere utilisation of aquaculture derived fish products lessens harvesting pressure on natural aquatic species populations. Couple that with the employment of carbon footprint reducing practices and one gets an industry that is truly sustainable and environmentally friendly.

HIK is committed to conducting its business in an environmentally friendly and sustainable manner. Utilization of renewable energy sources is a key focus area at HIK, and staff on all levels are encouraged to develop and employ energy-, water- and eco-saving practices when conducting business.
