No negative impact on the climate

Our approach

As a transport company, Stena Line has long recognised the environmental impact of its operations. Over the years, we have introduced measures to reduce this impact, including the early use of on-shore power and the evaluation of alternative propulsion and fuel solutions. In recent years, the increasing focus on climate change, new corporate reporting requirements and evolving stakeholder expectations have led us to further strengthen and structure our work.

We aim to build a clearer understanding of our environmental impact across the entire value chain — both upstream and downstream from our own operations. By improving the transparency and accuracy of our reporting for Scopes 1, 2 and 3, we can better identify where action is needed and track our progress. Stena Line also promotes alternative transport options by developing and offering intermodal solutions as part of our broader efforts to reduce environmental impacts.

Scope 1 – Emissions from our own operations

At Stena Line, we work to reduce emissions from our fleet, ports and terminal operations through energy-efficiency measures, technical upgrades such as energy-saving systems and battery solutions, and operational optimisation supported by digital tools. Across the fleet, we are testing and evaluating alternative fuels and propulsion technologies. We are also investing in the electrification of our vehicle fleet and expanding electrification measures in port and terminal operations to improve overall environmental performance.

Scope 2 – Purchased energy

To reduce emissions associated with purchased electricity and energy use at our sites, we are increasing the share of fossil-free electricity where available and installing solar panels at selected locations. These measures help lower the environmental impact of our terminal and office operations when the local energy infrastructure allows it.

Scope 3 – Value chain emissions

For emissions that occur in our value chain, we are conducting a materiality assessment to identify the most relevant areas where Stena Line has influence. We are implementing systems to collect, verify and report supplier and customer-related emissions data, enabling us to establish more accurate baselines and performance indicators. As part of this work, we request emissions data from key suppliers to ensure transparency and improve the reliability of our reporting.
