Stolt Tankers has been awarded a prestigious EcoVadis gold rating for sustainability performance, marking significant progress across all sustainability pillars in 2024. This recognition places the company among the top 4 percent of all organisations evaluated by EcoVadis and within the top 3 percent of the tankers industry.
EcoVadis, the world’s largest provider of business sustainability ratings, assesses corporate social responsibility practices and the effectiveness of sustainability management systems. Its certifications are based on international standards, including the Global Reporting Initiative and the United Nations Global Compact.
Maren Schroeder, president of Stolt Tankers, expressed pride in the achievement:
“Acting responsibly and sustainably is fundamental for everyone at Stolt Tankers. It is thanks to the commitment of our people that we have received this recognition and been able to make excellent progress towards our sustainability ambitions during the past year. We are delighted to have this gold rating from a globally respected provider such as EcoVadis, in recognition of all the efforts we make in this area.”
The 2024 gold rating represents a notable improvement from the silver rating earned in 2023. Stolt Tankers achieved a 10-point increase in the EcoVadis categories of environment, ethics, labour and human rights, and sustainable procurement. These improvements reflect a strengthened focus on energy management and employee engagement and development.
Stolt Tankers is not alone in its achievement, as all three of Stolt-Nielsen’s logistics businesses have now received EcoVadis gold ratings in 2024. Stolt Tank Containers was recognised in January, and Stolthaven Terminals followed in November.
This milestone reinforces Stolt Tankers’ commitment to advancing sustainable practices and contributing positively to the environment, its workforce, and the broader community.
