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:

Read about what we do:
Grieg and Wärtsilä to build groundbreaking green ammonia tanker
With government support worth 46,3 million NOK, a Norwegian partnership aims to build the world’s first green ammonia fueled tanker – to ship green ammonia.
Grieg Star dedicate team for sustainable innovations
Grieg Star has set up a separate company, Grieg Edge, to drive innovations within sustainable maritime services.
Sustainable shipping for a sustainable planet
Our CEO, Matt Duke, is a passionate scuba diver. And what he sees under the surface gives cause for concern and an urgency to be part of the solution.
Entering research cluster on autonomous ships
Grieg Star and G2 Ocean join forces with other partners to research the feasibility of safe autonomous deep-sea ships.
A sweet alternative to single-use plastic
Grieg Star vessels will no longer have drinking water on single-use plastic bottles. The replacement is multi-use bottles made from sugarcane.
