Sustainability in Kverneland Aqua

Engineering Responsible Solutions

At Kverneland Aqua, sustainability is integrated into how we design, manufacture, maintain, and deliver equipment. Our commitment is built around three core principles: Environmental Responsibility, People & Workplace, and Responsible Governance.

Every project, supplier relationship, and operational decision is guided by our ambition to create long-term value for customers while reducing environmental impact and maintaining high ethical standards.

Environmental Responsibility

The offshore, marine, aquaculture, and renewable energy industries play an important role in the transition towards a more sustainable future. We continuously work to reduce our environmental footprint through responsible operations and continuous improvement.

Our environmental efforts include:

  • Reducing waste and improving resource utilization
  • Extending equipment lifetime through refurbishment and upgrades
  • Evaluating environmental risks and implementing mitigation measures
  • Monitoring and improving energy and fuel consumption
  • Working with customers to maximize lifecycle value of equipment

By repairing, upgrading, and modernizing existing assets, we help customers reduce both costs and environmental impact.


People & Workplace

Our employees are our most important resource.

We are committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and rewarding workplace where people can develop professionally and contribute to meaningful projects.

Our priorities include:

  • Safe working conditions and a strong HSE culture
  • Equal opportunities for all employees
  • Respect for human rights and individual dignity
  • Professional development and competence building
  • An inclusive workplace built on respect and collaboration

We believe diversity strengthens our organization by bringing different experiences, perspectives, and ideas together.


Governance & Compliance

Responsible business practices are fundamental to everything we do.

Kverneland Aqua operates according to internationally recognized management standards and works actively to ensure compliance throughout our operations and supply chain.

Certified Management Systems

  • ISO 9001 – Quality Management
  • ISO 14001 – Environmental Management
  • ISO 45001 – Occupational Health & Safety Management

All suppliers are subject to evaluation and approval processes before engagement, including requirements related to ethics, compliance, and human rights.


Our Focus Areas Within the UN Sustainable Development Goals

The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals provide a common framework for creating sustainable growth and responsible business practices.

Kverneland Aqua has chosen four goals where we believe our activities can make the greatest contribution.

Goal 3 – Good Health and Well-being

Promoting safe working environments, strong HSE performance, and employee wellbeing.

Goal 8 – Decent Work and Economic Growth

Creating skilled jobs, supporting local industry, and delivering sustainable economic value.

Goal 13 – Climate Action

Reducing environmental impact through efficient operations, responsible resource management, and equipment life extension.

Goal 17 – Partnerships for the Goals

Working closely with customers, suppliers, and industry partners to create lasting value and sustainable solutions.


Building Long-Term Value

Sustainability is not a separate initiative at Kverneland Aqua—it is part of how we operate every day.

From extending the service life of offshore equipment to maintaining safe workplaces and responsible supply chains, we are committed to delivering practical solutions that support both our customers and a more sustainable future.
