Leading the way to a sustainable future
Our contribution to carbon neutrality
The bridge to what's next
Shipping is a necessity to keep the world operational. But global shipping holds other significant responsibilities next to ensuring a steady flow of trade between nations. Despite sea transport remaining the most environmentally efficient mode of transportation, we must recognize the critical role we hold and work towards a much more sustainable operation. Caring about the future of our planet is a crucial topic that we need to address today, to ensure a livable future for tomorrow. Our actions today set the bridge to what’s next.
We are a shipping & logistics conglomerate – but we are a family business too. Our more than 2400 dedicated people work relentlessly to bridge land via sea, working groundbreaking projects and carrying cargoes across oceans. Whether it is our efforts to reduce our environmental footprint, our social efforts or our corporate governance, our people remain our measure of our success – their creativity, their drive and engagement fuels our sustainability efforts just as it fuels and build our business as such.
Our sustainability ambition is profound, is a testament to our long-term dedication and a visible step on our journey to what’s next!
We believe that society in general and ourselves in particular are too dependent on fossil fuels.
Our strategic goal for ENVIRONMENT
We are too dependent on fossil fuels – as is society in general. We are committed to continuously improving our carbon footprint beyond defined regulations in all business areas – both at sea and ashore. We aim to operate a fleet of carbon-neutral vessels by 2035 on our path to ensuring net-zero GHG emission shipping by 2040.
We have a fleet of dedicated vessels to provide critical logistics services that enable and support the energy transition globally.
We invest 25% of our annual profits into research, developing new ship designs and pursuing projects that support our sustainability goals.
Shipping is a people’s business – and our colleagues are our most valuable asset both ashore and at sea.
