Sustainability | Independent Container Line ICL

Trust and Responsibility Are Our Two Core Values

"We're honored to take responsibility for people and the planet and assure our customers that partnering with us is risk-free for their sustainability commitments. While we're proud to have taken this great leap forward as one of the first companies in the industry - this is just the beginning!"

- Mark Workman, President, USA

"We've only just begun - our vision is to go above and beyond the international minimum standard to drive our business sustainability for the greater public good across the core area of sustainable development - social, environmental, and economic sustainability."

- Dean Robertson, President, Europe

EMPOWERING PEOPLE

For the past decade we've been routinely recognized as a top place to work - looking ahead, we'll continue to strengthen our efforts in social sustainability in the following ways:

Empowering the independence of our people with training and education "The ICL Way."
Improving safe and healthy working conditions considering both physical and mental health.
In order to continuously engage with and be guided by our people, we've created a "People Focus Group."

REDUCING CO₂ EMISSIONS

All businesses must act in response to the climate crisis. To guide our efforts, we will establish a baseline for our CO₂ emissions in alignment with the GHG protocol and set reduction targets in line with the globally agreed Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). And as an independent company, we choose partnerships and collaborations that support decarbonization.

LIVING MARKET INDEPENDENCE

Independence is at the core of our business - it's in our very name. By maintaining our independent status in a highly competitive industry and trading lane, we support and promote a healthy and competitive market economy.

A Responsible Business According To International Principles

By implementing sustainability due diligence across the required three areas in accordance with the internationally agreed standards for responsible business conduct in the UN Guiding Principles for Business and Human Rights (UNGPs) and the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises (OECD), we're among the first shipping companies to live up to the international standard for responsible business conduct - and document it.
