SalMar named most sustainable food producer in the world at Davos
Norwegian salmon farmer SalMar has been included in the Global 100 list of the world’s most sustainable companies, published in connection with the World Economic Forum in Davos.
The Global 100 ranking is compiled by analysis and media company Corporate Knights and assesses sustainability performance across all industries.
In the 2026 edition, 8,229 companies were analysed, with the top 100 qualifying for inclusion.
SalMar said it was the highest-ranked Norwegian company on this year’s list and also ranked top globally within food and beverage production.
However, it was not the only salmon company to take centre stage. Faroese company Bakkafrost joined it in the spotlight on sustainability.
SalMar chief executive Frode Arntsen said: “The Global 100 ranking shows that targeted and systematic improvement work over time yields results.”
He added that sustainability at SalMar is focused on operational performance across biology, feed, investment and technology, and that the recognition demonstrates the company’s ability to translate ambitions into concrete actions.
The Global 100 list has been published annually since 2005 and is regarded as a widely followed benchmark among investors, business leaders and policymakers.
