Our approach to Sustainability

We firmly believe that sustainability should be embedded in everything we do, as it goes beyond just minimising negative impacts and risks. For us, sustainability presents an opportunity for innovation, growth, and long-term value creation for our customers, owners, employees and other stakeholders.

Our efforts revolve around three key pillars: Environmental Protection, Social Responsibility and Governance Excellence which are further described below.

Our Performance

We strive to be transparent about our impact, allowing stakeholders to understand and evaluate our actions. This transparency helps build trust and drive progress towards a more sustainable shipping industry.

Environmental Protection

At G2 Ocean, we recognise our meaningful role in contributing to driving the green transition within the shipping industry. That is why we have set ambitious climate targets: to reduce the carbon intensity of our vessels by at least 40% compared to 2008 levels and to operate a zero-emission fleet by 2050.

To achieve our ambitious targets, we have implemented a comprehensive plan to reduce emissions. Through implementing technical and operational measures, we are committed to contributing to global carbon reduction efforts.

Social Responsibility

At G2 Ocean, we are committed to social responsibility and focus on several key aspects:

Safety

The health and safety of everyone in our operations is our top priority. We have implemented robust safety protocols and foster a strong safety culture through various initiatives, such as incident reporting, safety training, and employee well-being programs.

Human Rights

Secondly, we are dedicated to upholding human rights throughout our value chain. We are committed to ensuring fair and ethical practices in all aspects of our operations, promoting a responsible and sustainable approach.

Training and Education

Additionally, we invest in the ongoing development of our employees by offering various upskilling, reskilling, and continuous learning opportunities. We believe in empowering our workforce to thrive in a rapidly changing world.

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Lastly, we place strong emphasis on creating a diverse and inclusive work environment where every employee is valued and can be their authentic selves. We celebrate diversity and believe it fosters innovation, creativity, and a sense of belonging.

Governance Excellence

Ensuring good corporate governance is another crucial aspect of our sustainability efforts. We maintain transparency, accountability, and integrity in our decision-making processes. Our governance practices comply with relevant regulations and industry standards, allowing us to build trust with our stakeholders.

United Nations Sustainable Development Goals

In 2019, G2 Ocean adopted seven of the SDGs and selected those that are considered the most material for the company. The goals are integrated into our corporate strategy.

G2 Ocean actively works to support the SDGs and shares the view that businesses have a key role to play in delivering on and contributing to the goals.
