Marine Harvest is a member of the steering committee of the Salmon Aquaculture Dialogue. The dialogue is coordinated by the WWF US.
Other organisations and companies represented on the steering committee include environmental NGOs and salmon producers organisations.
The dialogue provides a meeting place where views and concerns can be exchanged in a constructive manner. Its goal is to credibly develop and support the implementation of measurable, performance-based farming standards that minimise or eliminate the key negative environmental and social impacts of salmon farming, while permitting the industry to remain economically viable.
To date, the Salmon Aquaculture Dialogue has established goals and objectives, identified seven key areas of impact, and drafted principles and criteria.
