Grøndal's 5 basic values

Pole and line fishing is an environmentally friendly method that is best described as one man, one hook and one tuna. A saying that emphasizes Santa Catarina's great focus on sustainability and craftsmanship. Pole fishing is the most environmentally friendly way to fish for tuna, and it is common sense to use that fishing method in an area that depends on its natural resources.

At Grøndals, you only get canned fish that contains healthy and non-overfished species. We only work with fish from nature-friendly fisheries. For example, our tuna is of the species skipjack, which is a fast-growing species that is not threatened by overfishing, and which at the same time has a naturally low content of heavy metals.

In order to create the best products, respect for a good working environment is a necessity. Therefore, there is no form of social dumping or exploitation of labour. Both the men who catch the fish and the women who produce the beautiful products with their loving craftsmanship are guaranteed a good and fairly paid working environment.

Recycling and waste sorting of cans is important. It is equally important that the cans are free of harmful and hormone-disrupting chemicals such as bisphenol A (BPA). If Grøndal's cans are properly sorted, 96% of the metal from the cans is recycled. But at Grøndals we know that not everyone is equally good at sorting waste. It is a shame and compromises the good conscience. That is why we always encourage you to remember to rinse the cans thoroughly and not to throw them in household waste and residual waste, but rather in the metal container in the waste sorting.
