Since we published our first report in 2020, we have been working determinedly on pushing forward on our sustainability agenda. With a corporate purpose guiding us to challenge the status quo, it is our second nature to ask questions and be curious about how we can do better within the Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) agenda. 

NAVIGATING BY A CLEAR LINE OF SIGHT 

In maritime navigation, the concept of line of sight serves as a fundamental principle for charting courses and ensuring safe passage. An unobstructed visual path between observer and target, typically indicated by landmarks or navigational aids. It guides mariners in aligning their course with distant points of reference, ensuring safe navigation across open waters. 

For Monjasa, the notion of line of sight finds equal importance as we link overarching ESG ambitions to each operational initiative launched to help reach them. Just as seafarers rely on clear sightlines to steer their ships towards destinations, we have established a coherent alignment between strategic material goals and day-to-day operations. This alignment ensures that every action taken at the operational level, as well as every performance metric, contributes meaningfully to how we want to evolve as a responsible company. 

DEFINING A DIRECTION FOR ESG IN MONJASA  

The overall strategic direction for ESG in Monjasa is aligned between three priorities that together provide a shared direction for our work. As such, we aim to be committed to change, have a balanced business and a global mindset across all our ESG initiatives. 

OUR ESG PRIORITIES 

 
ENVIRONMENT 

• Since 2002, Monjasa has been fuelling global trade by being closely connected to shipowners and market developments. We want to be part of shipping’s green transition by helping pave the way for new low-carbon fuels in the industry and improving our own environmental impact through energy efficiency improvements in our operation. 

 
SOCIAL 

• Guided by our purpose and values, Monjasa embraces the diversity of people, backgrounds and perspectives to attract and develop talent that can strengthen our business and form the backbone of sustainable evolution. This is why we always have, and will continue to, put health and safety, inclusion, equal opportunities for everyone and opportunities for development high on our agenda. 

 
GOVERNANCE 

• Monjasa operates across jurisdictions and cultures in compliance with all current legislation. Our work is rooted in our strong company culture based on open dialogues, trust and transparency as the foundation for our leading industry governance position. 

 
 
GOVERNING OUR ESG EFFORTS 

When it comes to governing ESG developments, Monjasa has a steering committee spearheading our work under the ESG agenda. This steering committee includes Monjasa’s Sustainability Department and Executive Management. Monjasa’s Board of Directors oversees our overall ESG ambitions. 

In this Annual Report 2024, you can learn more about our initiatives under the ESG agenda and the progress we have made through 2024.
