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.

A journey towards sustainable achievements

For many years now, Heerema has believed that a responsible company has an obligation to act in a sustainable manner. Our sustainability journey started in 2011, when the first sustainability report was written.

Naturally, much has happened since then. In 2013, the decision was made to outfit the Sleipnir with dual-fuel engines running on LNG (one of the first in the world of its size) and in 2015 Heerema moved to a new office that was heralded as one of the most sustainable offices in the world according to the World Green Building Council. In 2017, with combined efforts from Heerema employees including upper management, a “Sustainability Roadmap” has been created. In 2019, a contract was signed with Eneco and the Port of Rotterdam to fully electrify our vessels, virtually eliminating all emissions.
