Sustainability

Responsibility from sea to plate

At Royal Foods, sustainability begins with respect for the fish we source. We work with carefully selected suppliers and products where quality, traceability and responsibility go hand in hand.

For us, sustainability is not about big words, but about the choices we make every day. We aim to make the most of every resource, reduce unnecessary waste and offer seafood products that retailers and consumers can trust.

Our ambition is to be a reliable, long-term partner contributing to a more responsible food system — from sea to freezer, from store to dinner table.

Responsible sourcing and sustainable raw materials

We set high standards for our suppliers and partners. Through close dialogue and continuous follow-up, we ensure that our products meet our requirements for quality, food safety and sustainable production.

For fish and seafood, this means that:

wild-caught products are MSC certified
farmed products are ASC certified

These certifications support traceability and help ensure that the raw materials come from responsibly managed fisheries and farms.

Quality and food safety

Quality and food safety are fundamental to everything we do. Royal Foods is certified according to IP Livsmedel by KIWA and works in accordance with HACCP principles to identify, prevent and control risks throughout the business.

All our production facilities and partners are BRC certified, ensuring that production meets international standards for quality and food safety.

Environment and responsible use of resources

We actively work to reduce our environmental impact and contribute to a more sustainable use of natural resources. We do this by:

setting requirements for efficient and responsible production methods
prioritising certified and traceable raw materials
working with suppliers who share our focus on sustainable development

We see the sustainable use of resources as a prerequisite for long-term access to high-quality food.

Responsibility throughout the supply chain

We expect our suppliers and partners to:

comply with applicable laws and regulations
act with sound business ethics
respect human rights and good working conditions

Through long-term relationships, we create the conditions for improvement, development and accountability throughout the supply chain.

Follow-up and continuous development

Sustainability work is an ongoing process. That is why we continuously work to:

follow up on our requirements and certifications
evaluate and develop our ways of working
adapt to new requirements from the market, customers and authorities

We see continuous improvement as an important part of our responsibility.

For the future

Through clear requirements, certifications and responsible partnerships, we want to help preserve natural resources and ensure sustainable food for future generations.

Royal Foods should be the natural choice for customers who value quality, trust and responsibility.

Royal Foods is a company that stands for good quality at the best price.

We achieve this by taking responsibility for the quality of our products through close cooperation and high demands on our producers.

We are certified with IP Livsmedel by KIWA, which shows that we have a well-functioning HACCP system and a self-control program.

HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points) is a system for controlling the hazards that can pose a significant risk in the business.

The IP certification aims for security and competitiveness, which both facilitates business and prevents problems. We are also certified according to the MSC's traceability standard for fish and seafood, and hold certificates that give us the right to handle and market ASC-labeled products (ASC CoC Module).

Full information about our scope is published on www.msc.org and www.asc-aqua.org, respectively.

Our production meets the high demands of our customers.

All of our partners and production facilities are BRC certified, and – in the case of seafood – MSC certified (for wild-caught fish and shellfish) and ASC certified (for farmed fish and shellfish) by Intertek. This is proof that we meet international standards for well-managed and sustainable fishing.

Together, we will help to protect fish stocks for the future.
