In an industry which worldwide makes up 3% of CO2 emissions, we take responsibility for our impact on the environment. Stena Line’s vision is connecting Europe for a sustainable future. In that future we are emission-free and without negative impact on the world. We are a harassment-free workplace, characterised by diversity and inclusion where everyone has equal opportunity to succeed. This is the future we work towards every day, but we still have a long way to go. It is not called a sustainable journey without reason. 

Stena Line has an ambitious roadmap for 2030. Our targets are to reduce the CO2 emissions from our vessels by 30% and to launch our first vessel without CO2 emissions. We are taking steps to drive down our carbon footprint, including improving efficiency and using renewable electricity where available, but there is always more work to be done.

Shipping has not always been the most diverse industry. At Stena Line, we want to overcome barriers preventing talented people who could make a difference from getting on in our industry. We also believe a workforce that reflects the diversity of customers will help us more fully understand everyone’s needs. We have recently set out our ambition to become an attractive, safe and inclusive workplace for all by 2026, and have appointed a Diversity and Inclusion Lead to drive forward our initiatives in this area.

BIG LITTLE THINGS ON THE GREEN LIST

The green list is a summery of all the big little things that we have done to contribute to a more sustainable future.

SIX FOCUS AREAS TO REACH OUR GOALS

Our commitment to sustainability is centred around six focus areas linked to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which are directly related to our business. Ambitious targets are defined for each area, and progress is closely monitored, with the ambition that Stena Line remains a leader in sustainable shipping.

In three of the focus areas, we aim to lead the transformation towards a more sustainable future within our industry, with SDG 10 (Reduced inequalities) being the latest addition during 2021. In another three focus areas, we aim to improve our operations step by step.

5. GENDER EQUALITY

We continue to create opportunities for greater gender equality in the maritime industry, supporting women to access leadership roles across all areas of our business.

7. CLEAN ENERGY

We will work to continually improve energy efficiency on shore and at sea and actively stimulate the use of clean energy sources. 

10. REDUCED INEQUALITIES

We will strive to become an attractive, safe and inclusive employer for all so that everyone can thrive. 

3. GOOD HEALTH

We are committed to the safety of our people and our customers, and work hard to promote the health and well-being of everyone in our ports, on our vessels, and in our offices. 

12. RESPONSIBLE CONSUMPTION

Stena Line aims to reduce waste and increase recycling, while driving responsible procurement that is based on the case for resources. 

14. LIFE BELOW WATER

As a shipping company, we relay on the oceans and are committed to minimising our impact on marine life.
