The UN Global Compact has a Sustainable Ocean Stewardship Coalition that convenes leading actors from business, academia and government institutions to determine how ocean industries can advance progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Coalition has, in consultation with more than 300 stakeholders worldwide, developed the Sustainable Ocean Principles to emphasise the responsibility of businesses to take necessary actions to secure a healthy and productive ocean.

As signatory of these principles, Skretting recognises the urgency and global importance of healthy oceans and a sustainable aquaculture industry, and will take action to promote the well-being of the ocean for current and future generations. The Sustainable Ocean Principles provide a framework for responsible business practices across ocean sectors and geographies, serving as a common reference point on ocean sustainability. They build upon and supplement the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact, covering ocean health and productivity, governance and engagement, and data and transparency.
