Skretting secures new feed standard certification

Skretting’s certification was formally awarded during a ceremony at Seafood Expo Global 2025 in Barcelona.

The new ASC Feed Standard is intended to provide a comprehensive framework for responsible aquafeed production, setting stringent requirements across key areas including social and labour rights, health and safety, environmental stewardship, and responsible sourcing of raw materials.

DNV Global Market and Industries Director Stefano Crea congratulated Skretting on achieving the certification, saying the feed company’scommitment to sustainability across its entire value chain is evident. 

“The new ASC Feed Standard ensures that aquafeed production is carried out responsibly, addressing both environmental and social impacts across the entire supply chain. It promotes transparency, traceability, and continuous improvement in the aquaculture industry, ultimately contributing to more sustainable and ethical seafood production,” Crea said.

“At Skretting, our commitment to delivering sustainable feed begins with responsible sourcing. The ASC Feed Standard provides a robust methodology to better identify and mitigate legal, environmental, and social risks associated with the raw materials we use. Importantly, the standard addresses both environmental and social impacts and offers a strong framework for upholding human rights,” said Sergio Alanis, Managing Director Business Unit Southern Europe at Skretting.

Many of Skretting’s customers already hold ASC certifications.

“Through our purpose of ‘Feeding the Future’, we are dedicated to producing feeds that promote food security in a sustainable way. Skretting is focused on reducing our environmental footprint while increasing our positive social impact. Over time, our commitment to innovation and sustainability has set new benchmarks for aquaculture feed production. We embraced the ASC Feed Standard from its inception, and we are proud to have earned this certification from DNV,” Alanis said.

From 31 October 2025, ASC-certified farms must use ASC-certified feed to maintain their certification.
