Sustainability is more than a standard.
It’s a responsibility, and we take it seriously.
At Highland Farms, we’re proud to do seafood the right way.
An altogether more responsible way
With around a third of the world’s fish stocks already overexploited, and global demand for seafood continuing to rise beyond unprecedented levels, a balanced and truly sustainable approach has never been more urgent.
At Highland Farms, we go beyond labels and legal requirements. We believe in doing seafood the right way: taking responsibility for meeting the needs of today without compromising the future. A way that protects marine environments, respects ecosystems and makes ethical decisions now to secure our tomorrows rather than threaten them.
Our integrated approach brings together science, stewardship and care – combining responsible farming with sustainable wild fisheries to create a future where seafood remains on the menu for generations to come.
In a peak catch year, wild salmon supplies about one third of the worldwide demand for salmon.
A wild balancing act
Wild-caught seafood remains vital to communities, cultures and cuisines around the world. We work with wild fishing partners who operate under strict quotas and environmental standards, ensuring stocks are carefully managed and safeguarding local livelihoods and the long-term health of our oceans.
However, even in the best years, it’s impossible for wild fisheries to meet global demand. That’s why we champion responsible aquaculture – particularly in the cold, clean waters of Scotland and Norway, where conditions are ideal for producing premium seafood. Our farming partners use innovative, sustainable methods that reduce environmental impact while maintaining quality, consistency and welfare.
By balancing wild and farmed sources, we help take pressure off wild stocks, support a steady, year-round supply, and contribute to a more resilient global food system.
A watertight supply chain
We work only with trusted partners who share our values. From independent certification bodies like Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) and Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) to local producers with generations of expertise, every link in our supply chain is chosen for integrity and accountability.
More than exceptional quality seafood, this collaboration delivers confidence and peace of mind. Confidence that every product is responsibly sourced, fully traceable and independently verified. And peace of mind that we are supporting ethical practices, fair working conditions, and communities that depend on healthy oceans.
Beyond the fish
Our commitment to sustainability doesn’t end at the water’s edge. We’re continually reducing our environmental footprint across our operations - from sourcing to packaging and distribution.
Wherever possible, we use eco-friendly and recyclable packaging, minimising waste and plastic use while ensuring product quality and freshness. We work with suppliers who share our focus on energy efficiency, resource management and responsible innovation.
At Highland Farms, sustainability means taking care of the bigger picture. Protecting the oceans, the environment, and the future of seafood for generations to come.
