Sustainability as a Commitment
At Stolt Tank Containers, sustainability is at the heart of our operations. It is not just a compliance measure but a fundamental strategy for long-term success. We have integrated sustainability into everything we do, aiming to reduce our environmental footprint and make a positive impact on society. Sustainability is not an isolated initiative for us—it influences our strategies, innovations, and day-to-day operations. By continuously challenging ourselves to improve, we strive to set new industry benchmarks, demonstrating that profitability and sustainability can go hand in hand. This strategy has driven our ongoing efforts to enhance our operations, leading to our recognition with the prestigious EcoVadis Gold rating once again.
Stolt Tank Containers' Role in Sustainability
By choosing Stolt Tank Containers, customers can be confident that their products are shipped with a strong commitment to safety, sustainability, and responsible practices. We focus on both environmental and safety performance, with 20 of our 21 depots reporting zero lost-time incidents in 2023. Safety is embedded in our business, with “Safety First” becoming one of our three core strategic pillars. We have enhanced safety by introducing new process safety indicators, holding weekly safety discussions, and expanding our lessons-learned programme. Additionally, we collaborate with industry bodies such as ITCO, SFC, and ECTA to improve global safety and sustainability standards. Our continuous efforts ensure we help customers achieve their own sustainability objectives while maintaining the highest safety standards.
A Commitment to Excellence
We are proud to have earned an EcoVadis Gold rating, positioning us in the top 2% of companies within our industry and the top 5% of all the companies evaluated by EcoVadis. Notably, our ethics score increased by 10 points, while maintaining strong improvements across all EcoVadis sustainability categories. This reflects our focus on environmental performance at our depots and with the suppliers we procure from, as well as our commitment to safety culture, risk assessment, training our people, and employee engagement.
Stolt Tank Containers’ sustainability efforts help our customers meet their goals on Environment, Labour & Human Rights, Ethics, and Sustainable Procurement across the supply chain. By prioritising sustainability, we help build customer trust and enhance their reputation, ensuring their products are shipped with the utmost care for both people and the planet.
As part of our ongoing commitment to sustainability, we are dedicated to continuous improvement. Our goal is to reduce carbon intensity at wholly owned depots by 50% by 2030 and achieve net-zero CO₂e emissions by 2050. We believe that sustainability is a shared responsibility, and we encourage our customers, partners, and community to join us in making a lasting impact.
