The Dawn of Sustainability
Sustainability is an integral part of Dögun's operations and is fundamental to all production, from fishing to processing. We emphasise the responsible use of resources, ensuring a balance between the exploitation and protection of nature.
The activity is based on clear rules and a scientific foundation, where the protection of exploited stocks and ecosystems is actively pursued through sound fishing methods and management.
We also work towards responsible production by utilising raw materials and energy as efficiently as possible and reducing environmental impact throughout the entire value chain.
Sustainability in Practice
Responsible use of resources
We follow quota regulations that ensure only the sustainable amount is harvested at any one time, and that exploitation is in balance with nature.
Good hunting methods
Emphasis is placed on the selection of fishing gear that reduces bycatch and ensures that only the desired species and size are caught.
Protection of ecosystems
The closure and protection of certain areas contribute to the protection of spawning grounds and young fish, which is a key element in sustainable exploitation.
Responsible production
We use raw materials, energy and supplies as efficiently as possible and work proactively to reduce waste and improve the environmental performance of our production.
Certifications and traceability
A large part of our raw materials comes from MSC-certified fisheries that confirm sustainable fishing and ensure traceability from origin to consumer.
For the future
We operate with a long-term perspective, protecting the ocean's resources and delivering high-quality products without compromising the future.
