(Oslo, 26 March, 2026) Aker BioMarine today published its 2025 Annual Report, highlighting solid operational performance, continued growth in its human health business, and strengthened efforts in sustainability and responsible ocean stewardship.
The company continues to strengthen its role as a science-driven nutrition company, backed by clinical evidence and growing global demand, while stepping up efforts on emissions, circularity and ocean protection, with a clear ambition to combine human and planetary health.
– 2025 has been a year of execution, growth, and responsibility. Long-term value creation in our industry depends on transparency, science, and sustainable resource management, says CEO Matts Johansen.
Science-driven health benefits
Aker BioMarine develops ingredients based on krill and microalgae for dietary supplements and functional nutrition, supported by a strong and growing scientific foundation.
More than 50 clinical trials and over 135 scientific publications document the health effects of krill-based nutrients, including benefits for cardiovascular health, cognitive function, metabolism and muscle strength.
New research in 2025 highlights the potential of krill oil to help preserve muscle mass during weight loss, an increasingly relevant area given the global rise in GLP-1-based therapies.
The company also continues to invest in next-generation ingredients, including clinical research targeting brain health and healthy aging.
Supporting ocean protection
Aker BioMarine is taking an active role in shaping global ocean governance through partnerships and international collaboration.
In 2025, the company joined the Ocean Stewardship Initiative, launched by the Sustainable Markets Initiative, to help translate global ocean commitments into practical action. The initiative brings together industry leaders to support scalable, science-based solutions for ocean management, with a first focus on advancing a large-scale Marine Protected Area in Antarctica.
As part of this effort, former U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry joined the initiative as a champion, reinforcing the importance of private-sector engagement in accelerating ocean protection.
Through this work, Aker BioMarine aims to contribute to global efforts to protect 30% of the ocean by 2030, while demonstrating how industry can play a constructive role in balancing conservation and sustainable use.
Reducing environmental footprint
The company is also progressing on its climate and environmental targets:
- Transition to 100% renewable electricity at its Houston facility from 2026, expected to reduce Scope 2 emissions by approximately 90%
- Continued efforts to reduce emissions across the value chain
- Advancing circular solutions and reducing waste in operations
