Olympic Seafood wins Nutraceutical Business & Technology Award 2013

The RIMFROST KRILL COLLECTION received recognition for its ecological stewardship at the Vitafoods Europe show, which took place from 14-16 May in Geneva.

Olympic Seafood won the Environmental Excellence category of the Nutraceutical Business & Technology (NBT) Awards.

"We want to contribute to a healthy, balanced and happy lifestyle. This also entails being able to assure our customers and consumers of our responsible conduct", explained sales and marketing director Even Remøy.

"We want our customers and consumers to clearly know what we are about and how we operate. We also want to provide them with an opportunity to experience the Antarctic ecosystem and to understand the origin of krill", he added.

The key aspect of Olympic Seafood’s environmental efforts is the technological excellence of the krill-collecting vessel Juvel, which allows low emissions, low energy use and low climate impact. The company also puts emphasis on scientific cooperation in order to better understand and protect the environment in which it operates.

"The fact that two krill ingredient companies were nominated in the Environmental Excellence category
demonstrates the constant effort and commitment of our sector to provide sustainable solutions to our customers and to the entire nutritional industry", Remøy added.
