Sustainable solutions

To support this aim, we have a dedicated sustainability workstream with a defined strategy linked to three priority Sustainable Development Goals: Climate Action, Clean Water and Sanitation, and Life on Land. STC is also the only tank container operator that is a member of the Clean Cargo Working Group, a sustainability leadership initiative dedicated to mitigating the environmental impact of global goods transportation and promoting responsible shipping. 

STC is also aiming to use 50% renewable energy at our wholly owned depots by 2030 and we are exploring new green technologies and processes across all our operations. In 2023, we installed solar panels at our depots in Kaohsiung, Taiwan and Mumbai, India, and our depots in Moerdijk, the Netherlands, and Houston, US, successfully recycled 70% of their wastewater.
