Sustainability

Valuing people, respecting nature & life…
We have been sailing on our route for generations.

As Arkas Maritime Group, we recognize that the world is facing urgent environmental challenges that demand immediate action. Recently, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) adopted a revised strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to reach net zero by 2050, and to increase the usage of zero emission fuels by 2030. Ambitious goals set out by the EU Green Deal, the Emission Trading System (ETS) and the Maritime Taxonomy, and increasing requests imposed by Global Companies are in the pipeline for our industry. Our new Sustainability Organization will play a pivotal role in leading Arkas Maritime Group through these global challenges.

Our primary objective is to integrate sustainability into every aspect of our operations, from processes and supply chain management to employee engagement and community outreach. By doing so, we aim to create a positive and lasting impact on the environment, society, and the long-term success of our company.

Our sustainability journey will be guided with a comprehensive roadmap that will outline Arkas Maritime Group strategic priorities and initiatives. This roadmap will serve as a compass, providing a clear direction for our transformation and setting measurable targets for our progress.

Sustainability Transformation Roadmap

ESG Priorities

In 2023, we conducted Arkas Line Sustainability Materiality Analysis through interaction and dialogue with our internal and external stakeholders to identify our sustainability priorities and key issues. We defined sustainability priorities as topics that significantly impact Arkas Line’s operations or fall within Arkas Line’s sphere of influence. We conducted the sustainability prioritization analysis through Stakeholder Mapping, Prioritization Analysis List, Stakeholder Survey, One-on-One Meetings with Selected Stakeholders, and Top Management Sustainability Priorities Workshop.

Together, we have the power to make a substantial difference and leave a lasting legacy for future generations of Arkas. We look forward to sharing progress updates, success stories, and new opportunities for involvement along the way.
