The bridge to what's next

Shipping remains essential to maintaining global operations and ensuring the steady flow of trade between nations. While sea transport is the most environmentally efficient mode, we recognize our significant responsibility to pursue more sustainable practices. Our commitment to the planet's future is vital, and our actions today pave the way for a sustainable tomorrow.

 

As a family-run shipping and logistics conglomerate, our ca. 2000 dedicated individuals work tirelessly to connect land and sea, executing groundbreaking projects and transporting cargo across the oceans. Our focus on reducing our environmental impact, enhancing social initiatives, and strengthening corporate governance is driven by our people. Their creativity, drive, and engagement are the heart of our sustainability efforts and business growth.

 

Our sustainability ambition is profound, is a testament to our long-term dedication and a visible step on our journey to what’s next!

 

ENVIRONMENT

Our commitment extends beyond regulatory requirements, striving to reduce our carbon footprint across all aspects of our operations.

Our strategic goal for ENVIRONMENT

For us, sustainability translates into longevity, building a resilient and future-proof business. The global climate change challenges are still far from managed well enough to prevent future generations from suffering from present level GHG emissions. Our commitment extends beyond regulatory requirements, striving to reduce our carbon footprint across all aspects of our operations, both ashore and at sea progressing towards achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions from our shipping services by 2040.

The focal point of our business is facilitating and bolstering the global energy transition through essential logistic services utilizing our fleet of energy efficient and specialized vessels. We continuously invest in technology and into innovation that align with our sustainability objectives.
