Approach to Stakeholder Engagement

A stakeholder is a group, organisation, member or system who affects or can be affected by an organization's actions (GRI definition).

Lerøy's values are open, honest, responsible and creative, and it is crucial for us to have a continuous and open dialogue with all our stakeholders.

The purpose of stakeholder engagement is to ensure that Lerøy amplifies the positive impacts, mitigates the negative impacts, shares knowledge, best practices as well as ensures meaningful engagement with the stakeholders.

Open and honest communication with our stakeholders is essential for best possible cooperation. Stakeholder identification is a part of Lerøy’s materiality assessment process where relevant stakeholders are identified.

Lerøy Seafood Group communicates with its stakeholders via meetings, various reports (such as the annual report, the stock exchange reports, CDP reports etc.), communication in the media, announcements, joint projects, partnerships, websites and social media.

In 2023, the aquaculture industry in Norway including Lerøy, has received attention regarding food safety and animal welfare. With an integrated value chain for salmon production, Lerøy has the best prerequisites to provide safe and healthy products for our consumers. Lerøy shares an interest with the Norwegian authorities in maintaining food safety and animal welfare in all our operations and therefore seeks an open and constructive dialogue with the Norwegian authorities, including the Norwegian Food Safety Authority.
