Sustainability leadership powering the Nordic green transition

At ESL Shipping, sustainability is at the core of our strategy. We are helping build the low-emission logistics infrastructure required for the green transition of Nordic industries while maintaining safe, reliable and efficient maritime transport services.

Through fleet renewal, technological innovation and close collaboration with customers and partners, we are reducing emissions across our operations and value chain. Our climate targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), and we are committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2040.

Sustainability guides our investments, operations and decision-making, creating long-term value for our customers, employees, shareholders and society.

Our roadmap towards fossil-free shipping consists of three main development areas:
  1. Investment into best available ship technology capable of shifting from fossil to non-fossil fuels
  2. customer commitment and sharing of the same vision for low-emission shipping
  3. building an industrial-scale supply of non-fossil fuels in partnership with the energy industry.
