Sustainability

At Nordic Bulkers, our commitment to sustainability drives our choice of transport alternatives. We prioritize eco-friendly options, with a focus on containers and bulk rail cars. By continuously advancing our sustainable practices, we contribute to a greener future for the industry and our customers.

Environmentally Conscious Transportation Solutions

At Nordic Bulkers, we are dedicated to continually choosing and advancing the most eco-conscious transport options. Containers and bulk rail cars stand out as environmentally friendly choices, primarily because of their intermodal nature, which significantly reduces carbon footprints compared to solely relying on road transport. Additionally, they minimize the need for excessive packaging, thus preventing waste and dust issues.

The versatility of containers enables us to prioritize sea and rail freight, recognized as more environmentally sustainable modes of transportation.

Green Transportation Solutions

Sustainable fleet

We are committed to adopting eco-friendly solutions, with a focus on reducing emissions and environmental impact. Key initiatives include electric trucks, forklifts, and solar panel installations for powering our operations. We’re also accelerating the transition to a fossil-free fleet by 2050, supporting our sustainability strategy and contributing to a greener logistics industry.

Emission Reports

Environmental responsibility is key to our operations, especially in the chemical industry. To support transparency, we’ve introduced the Emission Reports feature in the Customer Web Portal, providing clients with detailed data on carbon emissions and sustainability metrics for their transport orders. These reports help customers demonstrate their sustainability efforts, attract eco-conscious clients, and stay ahead of regulations, aligning with our focus on reducing pollution throughout our value chain.

Operation Clean Sweep

In 2017, Nordic Bulkers committed to OCS, a voluntary free programme to prevent plastic pellets from entering oceans. As part of our sustainability strategy, we’re expanding these initiatives with innovative solutions to reduce waste and prevent environmental contamination, while collaborating with stakeholders across the plastic supply chain. This reflects our ongoing commitment to the circular economy and minimizing environmental impacts in our industry.

ISO Certifications

We strive for excellence in quality and environmental management, with our commitment to sustainability reflected in top scores across SQAS quality assessments and certifications in ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 22000. These certifications demonstrate our robust quality assurance protocols, aligned with the highest environmental and sustainability standards. As we progress toward our sustainability goals, they remain crucial in maintaining operational quality and meeting global standards for environmental stewardship and responsible business practices.
