Our ESG Commitment

Environmental, Social, and Corporate Governance is of significant importance to us at Suttons Tankers. We take our responsibility to be a truly sustainable business for future generations extremely seriously and have already seen impressive results in a number of areas within our business.

Our ESG policy details our commitment as a business, as well as to our customers and suppliers. This policy is based on the UN Sustainable Development Goals. The 17 Sustainable Development Goals were established under the 2030 Agreement for Sustainable Development and adopted by all UN member states in 2015.

The Sustainable Development Goals that are most relevant to our business and where we can have the greatest impact are:

• Good Health & Wellbeing
• Quality Education
• Climate Action
• Life Below Water
• Partnership for the Goals

A key part of our ESG policy is our ‘ROAR strategy’. This acronym stands for:

• Reduce – reducing emissions
• Optimise – route optimisation to reduce miles travelled
• Alternate – using alternate forms of energy
• Replace – replacing older and less efficient technologies

What are carbon emissions?

Scope 1 emissions are:

•Direct emissions from sources that are owned or controlled by the organisation.

•Combustion of fossil fuels in company-owned vehicles, boilers, or other equipment.

Scope 2 emissions are:

•Indirect emissions from sources not directly owned by the company.
