Like most companies in the world, we have a way to go before we can say we have a sustainable business. Still, that is our goal.
We say you cannot have a sustainable business without having sustainability as one of your key targets. That is why we have incorporated sustainability as a critical component in our strategy. Since 2008 we have been a supporter of the UN Global Compact. Therefore it is natural for us to use the UN Sustainable Development Goals as a tool to develop our sustainability targets. During the autumn and winter of 2018 and 2019, the whole Grieg Group worked on the SDGs.
For the coming years, Grieg Star will focus on five SDGs. These are heavily linked together. For a shipping company to become sustainable, we need innovation. To be able to innovate, we need an organisation rigged for innovation. That means diversity and competence. So these are our SDGs:

Every little thing helps
Every day we receive goods to our vessels – products wrapped in plastic. Too often, our suppliers do that out of habit. Luckily, some of them think outside the bag.
