No negative impact on climate
We are dedicated to sustaining three key areas over the long term: the planet, people, and our business.
A word from our CEO
For us at Stena Line, sustainability means the ability to sustain three key areas over the long term: the planet, people, and our business.
It also means taking responsibility. We know that our operations have played a role in creating climate change, so it is only fair that we are part of the solution. We also realise that as a major company, we possess the ability to drive change and so we share the responsibility to ensure the protection of human rights. This applies not only to our employees but to everyone associated with us. Moving forward, we will intensify our commitment to ensuring human rights and environmental responsibility across all our supply chains. We do it because we want to keep connecting Europe, and make sure there is medicine in the hospitals, food on the shelves, construction materials for the buildings of tomorrow, and that people can travel to see their loved ones. We also do it because we can, and therefore we must.
Niclas Mårtensson, CEO Stena Line Group
Embedding sustainability across our business
Everyone at Stena Line is responsible for delivering our sustainability strategy, according to the ambitions set out by our Group management team and Board. Stena Line also has a sustainability council responsible for driving specific targets and focus areas.
The list
Here you will find the big little things that we have done on our journey towards a more sustainable future.
Digitalised our tug masters
We’ve connected all our light port vehicles digitally. This means we can follow, analyse and plan their loading in a more efficient and energy-saving way.
Installed more shore power
We use onshore power sharing (OPS) wherever possible to supply our vessels with electricity while they are in port, reducing unnecessary fuel consumption. So far 14 vessels can connect to OPS, saving 13,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions in 2024.
Switched to organic milk
We always aim to use greener and better ingredients in our restaurants and cafés. For example, all the milk served on board has been organic since 2016.
Calculate your carbon emissions
At Stena Line, we’re working relentlessly on being a leader in sustainable shipping. Right now, we’re working on a solution to calculate CO2 emissions for both passengers and freight.
