No negative impact on climate
We are working towards no negative impact on the climate. Our target is to reduce our fossil CO2 emissions by 30% by 2030.
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, the humans, 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.

Embedding sustainability across our business

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.
Made our salad bowls plant-based
Our salad bowls don’t just contain plant-based material, now they’re made of it. Specifically, bagasse, which is a renewable, resource- efficient waste product from the sugar cane industry. That’s one of the big little things we’ve done for a more sustainable future.
Started painting our ships with greener antifouling
Our first vessel to be painted with environmental-friendly silicone antifouling was Stena Carisma in 2005, followed by Stena Saga.
Cruised with control
Speedpilot is an advanced cruise control system that optimizes a ship’s engine effect during a trip, making sure it arrives on time on as little fuel as possible. In 2015 Stena Mersey on the Belfast to Liverpool route was our 14th vessel to be equipped with Speedpilot.
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.
