Solvang deploys comprehensive measures to protect the marine environment, in compliance with GRI 101: Biodiversity, and the UN SDG 14 – Life below water.

The global reporting initiative (GRI) framework allows Solvang to communicate our impacts on the economy, environment and people in a transparent way. The following GRI disclosures cover topics within governance, strategy, policies and practices, climate change mitigation and adaptation, emissions, waste and water management, and social responsibility.

After the EU backtracked on some extensive disclosure requirements in their climate reporting directives, Solvang Shipping has moved on with our measures. In a climate of shifting international frameworks, Solvang sticks to our path of investments into eco accountability. Our double materiality asssessment of sustainability factors is the current milestone reached.

After solving emissions of sulfur and nitrous oxides, shipping still needs to cut CO2 more than existing methods and fuels allow for. The time has arrived for a radical solution.

Since 2010, Solvang has pursued an innovation path to bring heavy fuel oil (HFO) operation into compliance with the strictest NOx emission control. The climate gain is significant.
