The Skretting matrix

To identify and collaborate with high-potential suppliers of novel ingredients, we use the Skretting Matrix—a strategic tool aligned with our sustainability strategy. It helps assess and prioritise suppliers based on three key pillars: sustainability, ingredient performance, and supplier capabilities. The matrix provides a structured approach to ensure we focus on the right opportunities while supporting emerging suppliers who have the aspiration to enter the aquaculture market. By aligning with both foundational and aspirational criteria, the matrix helps us identify and collaborate with high-potential suppliers that align with our sustainability and innovation goals.
