Sustainability
Anthony Veder believes in taking responsibility for her employees, customers and the environment. We pursue sustainable growth for our company and our customers. We do this by educating our employees and offering sustainable innovations to strengthen our customer’s supply chain.
Focus
At Anthony Veder we are focusing much on sustainability. We believe we should protect our planet and its people from our actions and we have more impact if we do this together with our customers and partners.
We strive to conduct and grow our business in a sustainable way that meets the needs of the present, without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their needs.
ESG
Our sustainable strategy is based on the ESG standards which stand for: Environment, Social and Governance.
These can be classified in the following three areas where we can make a difference:
- Care for Environment
- Care for People (Social)
- Care by Governance
In order to fulfil our sustainable strategy it is inevitable to do this in partnership with our stakeholders like our customers, manning agents, suppliers and authorities.
To measure the impact from our activities on people and the environment we have set clear targets and based this on the ESG selected a baseline in our ESG roadmap until 2035.
UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Our sustainable strategy is designated to support our business strategy and contributes to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By analysing the SDGs we can contribute significantly on at least eight on these.
Throughout our Sustainable Growth Report of 2022 we have inserted visuals as a reference to one of the SDGs.
Sustainable Growth Report 2022
We are proud on the publication of our Sustainable Growth Report 2022. It is the fourth report on Anthony Veder’s Sustainable Growth and we see the landscape on reporting sustainability is changing fast.
With our initial report in 2019, we started by referring to the 17 United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as guidance to understand the sustainability impact of Anthony Veder. This remains unchanged. Throughout the report, visuals are inserted as a reference to one of the SDGs.
Care for People (Social)
We want to provide a transparent, safe and inspiring work environment where people enjoy working and take ownership of their vitality and well-being. Together we set goals for personal growth and stimulate focus on personal development and training needs. We strive for a diverse and inclusive environment; in a diverse workplace, employees are more likely to remain loyal when they feel respected and valued for their unique contribution.
We believe that (future) employees want to commit to an employer with a clear mission, vision, and ambitions and how they can contribute to that, values that fit our employees and can relate to. When people are happy in what they are doing it will lead to a healthy company.

Care for the Environment
Our journey to reduce our environmental impact started already in 2006 when we selected LNG as a fuel for Coral Methane totaling 10 vessels in 2022.
We have set our target for 2035 to become net zero in GHG (greenhouse gases) which is very ambitious. We believe we can achieve this by building a fleet that for propulsion is capable of running on methane gas, transitioning from fossil LNG towards bio or synthetic LNG.
Our vision is to build any future newbuild with methane gas burning capabilities and when considering the economic lifetime of a vessel, the vast majority of our fleet is capable of doing that by 2035. If we manage this, we also have eliminated SOx and particulate matter emissions, and up to 95% reduction in NOx emissions.

To achieve our sustainability goals, it is crucial that all aspects of our business operate in a manner that prioritizes sustainability and integrity. This requires a robust governance framework that systematically integrates sustainability into all decision-making processes and operations.

By prioritizing sustainability, we create a resilient and future-ready organization that can navigate complex regulatory and reporting landscapes. We take accountability for our actions.

Partnerships
Together we can make a difference
We can only realize sustainable growth if we work closely together with our partners, making a partnership more than just a formal arrangement. They can increase the impact that we make by looking at the cooperation and see where we can make a difference together.
Therefore, we need to collaborate and build partnerships, whether it is with our customers, suppliers, manning agents, associations, or public authorities.
