Sustainability as part of the way we do business
For sustainable, responsible and long term growth
A shared responsibility
We recognise that the impact of our activities extends beyond the boundaries of our business. The decisions we make every day can help shape supply chains, support our customers in achieving their sustainability goals and contribute to the development of the communities where we operate.
For this reason, sustainability is increasingly integrated into the way we manage our business, with the aim of strengthening our competitiveness, resilience and ability to create long-term value for our business, customers and stakeholders.
Moves That Matter
In 2025, we established our first Group-wide sustainability strategy, Moves That Matter, aligned with internationally recognised frameworks, including the Ten Principles of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The strategy is structured around three interconnected pillars – Climate Action, Empowered People and Responsible Leadership – which define our main areas of focus and guide Contship’s actions, priorities and medium- to long-term objectives.
Climate Action
We take climate action by reducing our emissions, using resources efficiently, and supporting our clients on their decarbonization journey.
Empowered People
We foster a diverse, inclusive, and safe workplace, prioritizing the well-being of our people and contributing to the communities where we operate.
Responsible Leadership
We operate responsibly and transparently, upholding our ethical standards, safeguarding data, and ensuring accountability in all that we do.
Our results
We joined the United Nations Global Compact
We committed to the
Science Based Targets initiative
Partnered with Fondazione Libellula to advance inclusion and prevent gender-based violence
Sustainability report
Our first Sustainability Report, prepared with reference to the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards, outlines the progress made in 2025 towards our objectives.
The report provides a baseline for monitoring progress over time, strengthening our ability to measure performance and supporting the ongoing development of the Moves That Matter strategy.
Looking ahead, we will continue to report on our performance, engage our people and stakeholders, and translate our priorities into concrete actions, progressively integrating sustainability further into the way we do business.
