Why Sustainability?
Because we want to, not because we have to
Carefully balancing between people, planet, and prosperity, that is what Sustainability means for Heerema. Sustainability is an integral part of our identity, embedded in our daily work practices.
Creating sustainable value(s)
for clients and stakeholders
Taking the lead towards a more sustainable offshore industry is a natural instinct embedded in our mission.
We aim to be part of your sustainable solution, taking into account existing targets and frameworks.
Sustainability Strategy
To move values into action, we use our Sustainability Roadmap. Based on the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals and the International Maritime Organization, it provides focus on our achievements,
ongoing projects, and ambitions.
PROJECTS
The projects in the Sustainability Roadmap bundle our current initiatives. They can be seen as the foundation on which we translate our values into action. Reduce Footprint and Emissions, Sustainable Supply Chain Management, and Good Health and Well Being, all together achieve an optimal balance of the triple bottom line. Ultimately our initiatives move our sustainability agenda forward by creating sustainable values, awareness and involvement.
AMBITIONS
The ambitions set targets on social, environmental, and economic sustainability-related aspects. Not only do we set ambitions in terms of emissions reduction, resource consumption or sustainable employability, it also contains the strategy on how to get there.
"We use our Sustainability Roadmap for the long-term strategy and sustainable development planning. It reflects our sustainability journey and is therefore being updated according lessons learned along the way."
