Strategic changes and CapEx projects can yield significant results, maintains the Scotland Food & Drink Partnership’s Net Zero Commitment

The global demand for sustainable seafood has never been higher. Within the UK alone, 60% of consumers are willing to pay a premium for eco-friendly products, according to a 2022 Mintel report. The message is clear: sustainability sells.

For Scottish seafood producers, reducing emissions isn’t just an environmental obligation – it’s a commercial opportunity. By embracing net-zero and adopting sustainable practices, seafood businesses can cut costs, access and maximise premium markets, and future-proof operations.
