We are proud to let you know that we have published our Sustainability Report for 2023.
The sustainability report is a way to describe the economic, environmental and social impacts of our everyday activities, as a complement to the annual report.
Our vision is to be a sustainable Swedish partner over generations. Being in the shipping industry, we believe we can actually make a difference in the global perspective by being responsible and do our part.
