The ESG Shipping Awards is the first global initiative dedicated to recognizing ESG excellence in the maritime industry. Nominations are evaluated by an independent jury comprising academics, regulatory experts, and industry leaders.
"Odfjell remains committed to responsible business practices and to playing an active role in the industry's transition toward a more sustainable future," Chief Sustainability Officer Øistein Jensen said. " We believe that climate change is one of the absolute biggest threats to people, societies, the environment, and businesses. The biggest risk is to believe that someone else will solve the problem. That’s why Odfjell takes every step to mitigate risk and reduce negative impact. This award is a recognition of all that work across our organization, at sea and ashore."
The Gold ESG Leader Award recognizes Odfjell's integrated approach to sustainability – one that extends beyond decarbonization to encompass how the company manages the workforce, upholds human rights across the value chain, maintains high standards of corporate governance, and reports transparently against evolving regulatory and voluntary frameworks.
