The award was presented yesterday at a ceremony in Bonn and serves as international recognition of Port of Roennes dedicated efforts in sustainability.

"Climate and sustainability have never been more critical than they are today, as we race against time to mitigate the increasingly evident consequences of climate change. This award acknowledges that as a pioneering organization, we have not only recognized the importance of sustainability reporting but have also translated it into concrete action. Furthermore, it confirms that local efforts are noticed and appreciated on an international level," says Lars Nordahl, CEO of Port of Roenne A/S.

As part of the ESG Transparency Award, Rønne Havn was evaluated on five key areas, including the port's work with transparency, governance, compliance with regulations and standards, social responsibility, and environmental efforts. Overall, Rønne Havn achieved the "Predicate Class," the second-highest category for performance across these five areas.

"Making our sustainability work visible is an ongoing process where we continuously learn and improve. The journey we undertake as a company is central to our efforts and has become an integral part of our daily operations, with everyone contributing to rethinking routines and finding more responsible solutions to become a more sustainable port," says Lars Nordahl.

Port of Roenne's sustainability efforts are documented annually in a dedicated ESG report, highlighting the progress the port has made or plans to implement.

As a significant player on Bornholm, this award also serves as motivation for Port of Roenne to continue strengthening its local position as a frontrunner in sustainability.

Head of ESG and Sustainability at Port of Roenne, Susan Hansen, has in collaboration with Business Center Bornholm, initiated a network for Bornholm-based companies and organizations working strategically with ESG reporting.
