United Nations Sustainable Development Goals

The Global Goals are a set of 17 commitments made by 193 world leaders. The goals recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests.

Our commitment to sustainability is centred around six focus areas linked to the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which are directly related to our business. Ambitious targets are defined for each area, and progress is closely monitored, with the ambition that Stena Line remains a leader in sustainable shipping.

With our focus on Affordable and Clean Energy, Gender Equality and Reduced inequalities, we aim to lead the transformation towards a more sustainable future within the maritime industry. We are working to actively stimulate the use of clean energy sources and to continually improve energy efficiency on shore and at sea. We also want to overcome barriers preventing talented people from getting on in shipping, and to become an attractive, safe and inclusive workplace for all.

In the other three focus areas, we aim to minimise our negative impact and improve our operations step by step.

Gender Equality

We continue to create opportunities for greater gender equality in the maritime industry, supporting women to access leadership roles across all areas of our business.

Affordable and Clean Energy

We will work to continuously improve energy efficiency on shore and at sea and actively stimulate the use of clean energy sources.

Reduced Inequalities

This goal is new for Stena Line, added to broaden our focus on equality and diversity. Together with SDG 5 Gender Equality and SDG 3 Good health and well-being, it shows we are striving to become the most attractive, safe and inclusive employer we can be.

Good Health and Well-Being
