Havfonn was motivated by Bluefront Equity’s energetic commitment to improving sustainability, fish health, and animal welfare in the ocean farming sector. Norway is a leading player in this sector, and Havfonn saw the opportunity to contribute – making at the same time its first fund investment.

Bluefront looks at the entire value chain and guides it in a sustainable direction. Havfonn is, with its long connection to shipping and the sea, very concerned about the sustainable development goal Life below water (UN SDG 14). Through Bluefront, Havfonn will contribute with what we are best at – experience, expertise, and long-term strategies – to reach the goals for future generations. At the same time, we can fulfill our demand to always be better by getting to know the ocean farming sector closer, and through Bluefront gain new insights, extend our network, and increase our knowledge.
