We shall contribute to a more sustainable society and therefore take responsibility for our environmental impact. We have established an environmental management system which manages climate and environmental work and helps us with continuous improvement. This also contains concrete requirements that must be met in working environment, waste/reuse, energy, purchasing and transport. Every year we must report figures for our activities that result in a climate account, as well as results and statistics. This information provides a good overview of progress and potential for improvement, and is made publicly available.
The company has adopted the following policy
- Safety for the environment and preservation of the climate are important to our company, employees, customers and stakeholders. FDA AS has therefore initiated a number of measures to reduce our environmental impact and contribute to preserving the climate, environment and working environment.
- Vi skal ha fokus på HMS i vår daglige drift samtidig som vi skal ha et trivelig arbeidsmiljø. Vår drift skal være i tråd med våre etiske retningslinjer (Code of Conduct)
- We will reduce our energy use by investing in energy-efficient vessels and by optimizing our operation/logistics for vessels
- We will reduce our waste production by implementing recycling/waste sorting, and otherwise follow our Waste Plan on board in line with Marpol Annex V.
- We will reduce our CO2/NOX emissions and other emissions by investing in energy-efficient vessels with cleaning technology on board
- We will increase our sustainability by buying and using environmentally friendly products/services when we can, and by choosing suppliers that have sustainability goals that are in line with FDA AS's policy
- We inform our employees, customers and other stakeholders about our environmental measures and our sustainability strategy
- We will continue to have a continuous evaluation as a basis for improving our environmental measures in order to contribute to securing the climate and the environment
- The company commits to following our policy, and we will take active steps to reduce our environmental impact and help preserve the climate. We also encourage our employees, customers, suppliers and partners to participate in this effort.

Raise competence within statutory and self-imposed areas. Carry out an internal audit with external assistance in 2024
