With an open mind to the environment, fair and inclusive employment, social interests, and realistic perspectives for stakeholders.
As JR Shipping Group, of which JR Shipping and SeaZip Offshore Service are part, we opt for an active role in the international playing field of standards and regulations regarding ESG policy – Environment, Social, Governance. Since 2022, we worked hard on identifying challenges and opportunities and formulating ambitions and goals. We are proud to have published our second Sustainability Report in December 2024. We cordially invite you to download this report and share our mission: Let’s commit and move forward together, towards Excellence in Sustainable Short Sea Shipping.
Why we do it
Although we are not obligated to publish an ESG report currently, we believe it is critical to act and make progress in the field of ESG. Currently, the published report is not on future accounting standards yet, but it is a significant step in the right direction for us. Above all, we realise that there is still a lot of work to be done. Within our organisation, we are aware of this, and there is a high level of commitment to our ESG efforts at all levels. We do not see ESG as mandatory, we also see the chances it give to add to a sustainable future.
‘Our objective is to contribute to a sustainable shipping industry by setting the highest standards of environmental, social, and governance practices, to support creating a world of opportunities and wellbeing for generations to come.’
At JR Shipping Group, we are fully committed to ensuring that our operations and decisions align with our dedication to ESG principles. We strive to uphold the highest standards of responsible business conduct, supporting the health, safety, and well-being of our employees, customer relationships, maritime partners, communities, and the environment.
Incorporating ESG into our operational processes presents opportunities for growth. One example is the retrofitting of our ships. By optimizing and improving the efficiency of existing vessels, we can reduce fuel consumption and lower emissions. This allows us to offer our charterers a more sustainable and economically attractive options. For our customers, this means not only reduced operational costs but also the ability to meet the growing demand for environmentally friendly solutions
Our goal is to contribute to a sustainable shipping sector by applying the highest ESG standards, creating opportunities, and promoting well-being for both present and future generations. In addition, we remain committed to developing policies and procedures that support our ESG objectives, regularly reporting on our progress.
The SDG’s

Of these goals, goals 3 (Good health and well-being) 7 (Affordable and clean energy), 13 (Climate action), and 14 (Life below water) are our main four priorities, but we are trying to influence every of the 17 goals in a positive way.
