EU countries have agreed on GREEN DEAL and have committed to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. Veryimportant role for achieving the goal is playing production and manufacturing industry. This article is devoted to fishproduction industry, which is as subdivision of food production industry. During past decades the amount of fish caughthas increased multiple times. Fishing industry nowadays is being strongly regulated and monitored by variousinstitutions including. Which sets environmental legislation for controlling and improving industries impact (energyefficiency, pollution, waste) on the habitat and environment. For EU to make right decisions on how the member statescould develop their fish production industry, it is necessary to have overall evaluation which includes the developmentopportunities. The efficiency of the fish production company characterizes the amount of resources used, as well asenergy efficiency, water usage, the possibility to implement of circular economy, and other criteria which must beevaluated from the perspective if environmental, engineering, economic and social aspects.The fish production company analysis in this article are analysed using Data envelopement analysis (DEA) multicriteriaanalysis. First results show that fish manufacturers must pay attention to the technological processes in order to movetowards carbon neutral society.
