“We would like to thank SIVA for the first place. Absolutely incredible. We were deeply honored to be nominated, so we would like to thank everyone who voted for us, the jury at SIVA and the recognition this gives us” – Ole Arne Eiksund, Managing Director.
A price for green transition

Arctic Nutrition nominated for green transition
Focusing on sustainability is not only about being kind to the environment, but also about thinking smart and long-term. Through innovative technology, we optimize the utilization of the Norwegian spring-spawning herring, and thus contribute to the emergence of a future-oriented industry.
We are proud to be able to offer Romega, a product that benefits both public health and the biomarine industry, and which in the process safeguards and builds on environmental considerations.
We are inspired by others seeing the value of the work we do, including that which is aimed at a green transition. You can read more about this work here .
We at Arctic Nutrition humbly thank you for the SIVA award. This is both motivating and inspiring for our plans for the future, and we are proud that sustainability is and will be fundamental to our entire business.
