Sustainability in the Baltic Sea

At Rønne Havn A/S we work with both ISO standards and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), both at an strategic and operational level.

RØNNE HAVN A/S & THE SDGs

At Rønne Havn A/S we are working continuously to contribute to a society where social, economic and environmental development are close combined with a sustainable change, which is visualized in the organization's daily work, which is carried out in close dialogue with relevant partners and from a sustainable perspective.

To take social responsibility is a natural part of our way of operating a port, and by listening to and coorporating with our stakeholders, we do our best to provide the best and most flexible services and create frames for local growth based on sustainable solutions.

Our work, both at an operational og strategic level, covers most of the 17 SDGs, and in January 2022 we joined the UN Global Compact, including the Danish branch Global Compact Network Denmark, which was done to strengthen our work with the SDGs, og we have selected the following 4 SDGs, which the organization is already working on, but sees potentials for further improvements:

SDG 7 - Affordable and clean energy
SDG 8 - Decent work and economic growth
SDG 9 - Industry, innovation and infrastructure
SDG 12 - Responsible consumption and production

The other SDGs are also a part of our daily work in the organization, buth do not have the same highlight as the selected 4 SDGs.

We believe that the long-term succes of our company depends on the balance between social, environmental and economic aspects of our business, and that our customers experience professional services of a high quality by choosing us as their business partner.
