Hiddenfjord is the first in the aquaculture industry to make a commitment of this size and scope, significantly decreasing their environmental impact in line with the UN\u2019s global goals around urgent climate action.<\/p>\n
Salmon already has a much lower carbon footprint than other foods such as pork or beef but replacing air freight with sea freight makes it a very sustainable food choice. \u201cThe facts are clear, we all need to immediately stop using airplanes to transport goods in order to reduce climate change,\u201d said Atli Gregersen, managing director and owner of Hiddenfjord. \u201cIf we claim that we want to be a truly sustainable company, we must take responsible actions,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
New independent consumer research shows that Hiddenfjord salmon has maintained the same quality, despite the company\u2019s termination of air freight.<\/p>\n
\u201cEven if the suspension of air freight has been a big change for many of our customers, we were very happy to be able to prove that we could maintain our well-known high quality \u2013 now with a much lower CO2 footprint,\u201d said \u00d3li Hansen, sales director at Hiddenfjord.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe product is attracting interest from new customers focusing on sustainability,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
