Carbon Neutrality in Seafood Production
At Blane Olson, we’re committed to producing seafood responsibly — minimizing our carbon footprint from ocean to plate to ensure a sustainable future for our planet.
In today’s food industry, achieving carbon neutrality is no longer optional — it’s a responsibility. Every stage of food production — from raw materials and packaging to refrigeration and logistics — contributes to global greenhouse gas emissions.
The seafood sector faces unique challenges due to energy-intensive cold chains and transportation. By measuring and reducing emissions, producers not only protect the planet but also build trust with global consumers who expect sustainable and transparent supply chains.
For NUSATUNA, carbon neutrality is a cornerstone of our commitment to responsible seafood — ensuring that what we produce today supports the health of oceans, communities, and future generations.
Our emissions profile revealed
- 502.76 tCO₂e from fugitive emissions within our refrigeration systems — our largest single contributor.
- 491.74 tCO₂e from purchased goods and services, emphasizing the role of responsible sourcing in our value chain.
- 175.95 tCO₂e from purchased energy,
- 27.11 tCO₂e from upstream transportation, and
- 25.07 tCO₂e from downstream distribution.
These insights highlight the specific areas where we continue to implement targeted emission-reduction strategies, such as:
- Transitioning to low-GWP refrigerants and enhanced leak detection systems,
- Partnering with suppliers who share our sustainability standards,
- Expanding use of renewable energy sources, and
- Optimizing logistics to reduce fuel consumption.
NUSATUNA remains fully dedicated to achieving carbon neutrality and actively managing emissions across all operations. This work directly supports UN Sustainable Development Goal 13 (Climate Action) and aligns with international standards for climate reporting — ensuring that our sustainability actions are both measurable and transparent.
