Growing Sustainably
As an organisation that stores and transports raw materials for many everyday products – and produces a sustainable food source at our fish farms – we recognise the impact that our operations have on the environment, our communities, our colleagues and external stakeholders. Sustainability is therefore integrated with our strategy and underpins operations across Stolt-Nielsen.
Our Annual Report has been prepared in accordance with the GRI core standard option and covers several of the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) sustainability topics for marine transportation. During the year, we also began our climate change risk assessment using the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) framework.
Aligning with global best practices
Stolt-Nielsen is a signatory of the UN Global Compact and we are working to reduce our environmental impact in line with its objectives and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Stolt-Nielsen has the potential to make the greatest contribution to three SDGs – Responsible Consumption and Production, Climate Action, and Life Below Water – and we use them to guide our approach to sustainability.
Assessing our impact
During 2021 we surveyed a broad range of stakeholders across all our businesses, including customers and investors, as part of our materiality assessment process. The results of these surveys were then used to identify key sustainability themes to focus on in our strategy and reporting.
The resulting materiality diagram (pictured) illustrates the relative importance of the material topics identified by both internal and external stakeholders. Our sustainability strategy is aligned to these topics, and in 2021 we established additional data baselines for priority areas so we can more effectively measure our progress.
The coloured dots closest to the centre are areas that Stolt-Nielsen can impact most directly. Our ability to impact each area decreases as you move from the centre of the diagram outwards.
Health and Safety
Stolt-Nielsen is committed to achieving zero harm across all operations. Our commitment drives a safety-focused culture rooted in sound governance, robust processes, specialist training, incident management and reporting.
During 2021, we saw improvements in both overall Total Recordable Case Frequency (TRCF) and Lost Time Injury Frequency (LTIF) rates across our logistics businesses: TRCF fell to 1.80 (2020: 2.34) and LTIF fell to 0.77 (2020: 0.89).
