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

We believe that society in general and ourselves in particular are too dependent on fossil fuels.

Our strategic goal for ENVIRONMENT

We - same as society in general - still rely heavily on fossil fuels. Our commitment extends beyond regulatory requirements. striving to reduce our carbon footprint across all aspects of our operations, both ashore and at sea. By 2035, we aim to have a fleet of vessels that are carbon-neutral, progressing towards achieving net-zero greenhouse gas emissions from our shipping services by 2040.

We maintain a specialized fleet to deliver essential logistics services crucial for facilitating and bolstering the global energy transition. Furthermore, we allocate 25% of our yearly profits towards research and the development of innovative ship designs, as well as initiatives that align with our sustainability objectives.
