Sustainable Growth

As an organisation that plays an essential part in the global supply chain – transporting and storing products that touch every aspect of modern life and producing sustainable seafood – we recognise the impact that our operations have on the environment, our colleagues and wider society. Sustainability is therefore integral to our strategy, underpins operations across Stolt-Nielsen and helps us deliver value to our stakeholders.

Aligning with the UN Sustainable Development Goals

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). We have the potential to make the greatest contribution to SDGs 12, 13 and 14 – Responsible Consumption and Production, Climate Action and Life Below Water – and we use these to guide our approach to sustainability.

Health and Safety

At Stolt-Nielsen, our commitment to zero harm requires a strong, safety-focused culture. This culture is driven from the top. The management team and Board of Directors ensure the correct governance is in place and appropriate resources are available to assure robust processes, specialist training and proper reporting. They receive detailed safety performance reports on a quarterly basis.

During the year, we saw Total Recordable Case Frequency (TRCF) and Lost Time Injury Frequency (LTIF) fall at Stolt Tankers. There was also some improvement across our other businesses.

Environment

In 2022, these SDGs guided our efforts as we enhanced our data collection and reporting capabilities, launched new initiatives, and made measurable progress towards achieving our environmental aims.
