Responsibility for the environment
In the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change the Paris agreement has been signed and adopted by all nations in 2015. This agreement sets out to limit global warming to 2 degrees Celsius compared to pre-industrial levels.
To achieve this long-term temperature goal global action is required and greenhouse gas emissions must be reduced as soon as possible.
In the European context, these new emission goals will be implemented for the industry within the Green Deal and for the global shipping industry, the IMO set strict targets for 2030 and 2050.
Global warming, greenhouse gases in general, and CO2, in particular, are threatening our environment. As a maritime shipping company operating worldwide, we have a responsibility to contribute to the improvement of the environment and the reduction of greenhouse gasses and CO2.
In order to contribute to fight against climate change, we focus on minimizing the following:
| Energy & emissions | We minimize the impact of emissions, effluents, and waste |
| Noise impact
| We minimize the impact of noise and maximize disaster response |
