Safe, healthy, diverse and gender equal workforce

Our commitment

At Stena Line, we strive to be a trusted link between people, places, and society — and that commitment begins with our people. We aim to provide a safe, healthy, and inclusive workplace where every employee is treated with respect, feels valued, and has the opportunity to grow and contribute. The maritime industry has traditionally been shaped by long-standing structures, but at Stena Line we are driving positive change — creating a modern, fair, and supportive environment that reflects the diversity of the communities we serve. We believe that diversity and inclusion are key to attracting, developing, and retaining the best talents. By welcoming people from different backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives, we strengthen our ability to innovate, adapt, and deliver on our purpose. We measure our progress through transparent indicators such as the Employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS), which helps us understand how our colleagues experience Stena Line as a workplace and guides our continuous improvements.

Health, safety and well-being

Safety and care are part of our DNA. Through structured safety management, regular training, and health and well-being initiatives — including access to support programmes, physical activities, and mental health awareness — we promote a sustainable working environment where people can thrive both on board and ashore. We regularly review and improve our practices to ensure they align with international standards and foster a strong culture of safety, trust, and responsibility.

Inclusion, diversity and talent

We are committed to building a workforce that reflects the world around us and to offering equal opportunities for everyone to grow within Stena Line. Our recruitment and development processes are designed to be fair, bias-aware, and inclusive, ensuring that we identify and nurture talent based on potential and performance, not background or gender. Initiatives such as the Sunflower programme (supporting colleagues with hidden disabilities) and training on inclusive leadership and LGBTQI+ awareness help us strengthen inclusion and belonging across our organisation.

Engagement and empowerment

Our people are the driving force behind Stena Line’s success. Through our Employee Net Promoter Score (eNPS), we measure how likely our colleagues are to recommend Stena Line as a great place to work — reflecting their engagement, pride, and loyalty. By aiming for an eNPS of 32, we demonstrate our commitment to creating an inclusive and respectful environment where employees feel valued, motivated, and empowered to shape our culture and future together. By fostering collaboration, fairness, and respect — and by listening to our people — we create a workplace where everyone can take pride in being part of Stena Line, a company that truly connects people, places, and society in a safe, healthy, and inclusive way.
