Samskip’s Verified Science-Based Targets – Leading the Way Toward Net-Zero by 2040

4 February 2025

At Samskip, sustainability isn’t just a promise—it’s how we operate every day. Today, we’re thrilled to announce that our climate targets have been officially verified by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This achievement reflects our dedication to limiting global warming to 1.5°C in alignment with the Paris Climate Agreement.

Turning Ambition Into Action

Securing SBTi verification required a thorough review of Samskip’s emissions data and a clear, science-backed roadmap for reducing emissions in the near term (2030) and the long term (2040). As one of the few logistics companies to reach this milestone, Samskip is proving that bold sustainability commitments can be achieved with transparency and accountability.

The Importance of Science-Based Targets

The science is clear: limiting global warming to 1.5°C is critical to avoiding catastrophic impacts on ecosystems, communities, and industries worldwide. By aligning with SBTi’s rigorous standards, Samskip is contributing to meaningful climate action that sets a new benchmark for the logistics sector.

Leading by Example

From innovative projects like the SeaShuttle hydrogen-powered container ships to our Platinum-rated sustainability performance by EcoVadis, Samskip continues to lead with solutions that make a measurable difference. Whether it’s leveraging biofuels, shore power, or verified emissions reductions, our actions speak louder than words.

A Collective Journey Toward Net-Zero

Achieving Net-Zero by 2040 isn’t something we can do alone—it’s a journey that requires collective action across industries and borders. By setting transparent and science-based targets, Samskip aims to inspire others in the logistics sector to take bold steps toward sustainability. Together, we can create a future where logistics supports both people and the planet.
