Abyss Group and sustainability reporting
In its 2023 annual report, Abyss Group AS presented targets and specific measures to promote sustainability across the business.
In brief
Abyss Group has set a target to reduce relative CO₂ emissions by 20 per cent by 2030, focusing particularly on fuel consumption, fleet modernisation and smarter logistics.
The reporting also shows how technology, reduced chemical use, the working environment, skills and safety culture form part of the company’s overall approach to sustainability.
The company is working to reduce CO₂ emissions, develop technological innovations and invest in a good working environment.
Reducing CO₂ emissions
Abyss Group aims to reduce relative CO₂ emissions by 20 per cent by 2030, measured against the level of activity in 2023. This requires sustainable procurement, less travel, better waste management and greater use of renewable energy.
Fuel consumption is a clear challenge
Fuel is the company’s largest source of emissions. Vessel fuel consumption is monitored, and an energy efficiency management plan, SEEMP, has been developed for each vessel.
The work includes modernising machinery, smarter logistics and skills development. In 2023, Abyss had 32 vessels, three of them hybrids.
Sustainability in practice
Since 2015, Abyss has developed solutions that support better fish welfare, clean water in pens and inspections of installations to prevent escapes. Advanced technology also reduces the need for chemicals.
Working environment and diversity
Employees are the company’s most important resource. Better reporting of incidents and near misses, daily safety discussions, checklists and skills development aim to reduce injuries and strengthen the safety culture.
