STENA LINE'S TAKE ON SUSTAINABILITY

At Stena Line, we have taken the view that any approach to sustainability focused solely on environmental factors is too narrow. Our commitment to a more sustainable future takes on a broader understanding, one that is based on care: care for our customers, care for our resources, and care for each other. As an organisation and as individuals, we must contribute to a better future, and to make a difference in whichever way we can.

BEING AWARE AND DEALING WITH RISKS

Risk is something we expose ourselves to on a daily basis. It's part of our everyday lives and without taking risks, it is also difficult to run a profitable business.

TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER

Every third person in Sweden will receive a cancer diagnosis during their lifetime. This means that the vast majority of us somehow will suffer from cancer.

One thing that most of us will have in common during our lifetime is that we will be unwilling victims of this disease, and that is why there is a lot to say about cancer.
