SUSTAINABILITY. OUR FOUNDATION

Responsible Sourcing & Ocean Stewardship

For more than a decade, Aker BioMarine operated its own harvesting vessels in Antarctica and helped set the global standard for sustainable krill fisheries. Following the establishment of Aker QRILL Company (AQC) as an independent krill-harvesting company, we now source our krill oil through AQC, a global leader in sustainable Antarctic krill harvesting.

AQC operates under the strict governance of the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR), widely recognized as one of the world’s most precautionary fisheries management systems. Catch limits are capped at less than 1% of the total krill biomass, all vessels are MSC-certified, and every operation is monitored by independent observers. Data is shared transparently with scientists and NGOs through platforms such as krillscience.com.

Our commitment to ocean health goes beyond compliance. Together with AQC, we are actively backing the creation of a Marine Protected Area (MPA) on the Antarctic Peninsula—one of the most ambitious conservation initiatives in the region’s history. If approved, nearly 70% of these waters will be permanently safeguarded, showing that industry, science, and policymakers can work together to protect biodiversity and build climate resilience.

Innovation for a Sustainable Future

We believe sustainability requires diversifying how humanity meets its nutritional needs. Building on our heritage in marine omega-3s, we launched Revervia®—a premium, plant-based DHA oil from microalgae. Revervia® delivers the highest natural concentration of DHA on the market, in its pure triglyceride form, with no chemical alteration. Produced through low-impact fermentation, Revervia® is fully traceable, vegan, and renewable—broadening sustainable options and helping close the global omega-3 gap.

Alongside innovation in algae, our krill oil remains a unique and valuable resource. Rich in omega-3 fatty acids, phospholipids, and choline, krill contributes to heart, brain, joint, muscle, and skin health. With people living longer than ever before, sustainably sourced and science-backed nutrients are increasingly vital to prevent deficiencies and promote long-term wellbeing. Our research partnerships and more than 50 clinical studies ensure that these benefits are well documented and trusted worldwide.

Reducing Our Footprint

Sustainability is not only about what we source, but also about how we operate. At our Houston manufacturing plant, we are reducing emissions through energy optimization, electrification of transport, and circular production processes. Our ambition is to achieve full circularity of principal waste streams and to continue lowering the carbon intensity of our products
year by year.

This work is part of our broader climate strategy, where we aim to combine efficiency improvements with innovation in circular economy solutions. By turning waste into resources and investing in cleaner operations, we demonstrate that health ingredients can be produced with responsibility and respect for the planet.

People and Culture

Our responsibility also extends to our people. At Aker BioMarine, we are building a safe, diverse, and inclusive workplace where innovation and sustainability are lived values. We believe that empowered employees are key to delivering on our mission of improving human and planetary health.

Through a culture based on trust, responsibility, and collaboration, we strive to create an environment where people can grow, contribute, and make an impact. This commitment applies not only to our own teams but also to how we work with partners, communities, and stakeholders globally.

A Shared Responsibility

Sustainability is not a static claim but a continuous responsibility. By sourcing responsibly, supporting bold marine protection, reducing our footprint, investing in our people, and developing next-generation nutrition like Revervia®, Aker BioMarine ensures that better health for people goes hand in hand with a healthier planet.
