Chemical tanker player Odfjell has beaten land-based competitors to be named the most sustainable company in the Norwegian city of Bergan.
The award was handed out at a black-tie event by the Bergen Chamber of Commerce & Industry in front of hundreds of business executives and politicians.
Head of sustainability Oistein Jensen collected the award on behalf of the company.
The judges noted that Odfjell has a holistic approach to sustainability and is not afraid of taking a position towards sustainability even when solutions are not available.
Bergen mayor Marit Warncke said: “They were among the first companies in the world to adopt and develop sustainable financing in their industry, showing that Norwegian companies can take [a] lead and set new standards.
“The jury considers this a brave and innovative contribution to the transformation their industry must undergo to reduce emissions.”
