Stakeholder views

“Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics is leading the world’s shipowning community with its ‘green’ ship operations, having instigated several environmental policies over the years…and has taken a number of radical steps to reduce emissions."

– Mike Hood, Lloyd’s List, 12 June 2008

“WWL has shown it takes environmental sustainability seriously. WWL has been a trendsetter in its commitment to purchase low-sulphur fuel, a move that led the International Maritime Organization to lower the sulphur limit for bunker fuels."

–Duncan Pollard, Director of Conservation Practice and Policy, WWF International

“The obvious danger is that the environment will be forgotten in the fight for survival, which would be a disaster not only for the environment but also for logistics companies. Many companies, including WWL, have already proved that good management – management that understands why the company is in business, not just what it does – can make the company both profitable and environmentally friendly. It's not one or the other, it's both."

– Richard Clayton, Editor, Fairplay International Shipping Weekly

“Companies like WWL are extremely valuable in the current struggle to gain the critical mass required to create a sustainable global market. WWL sets a groundbreaking example so that other companies will dare to follow. I see other ocean carriers now moving forward with their environmental programmes although they are not yet as comprehensive as WWL’s. I know that the Norwegian Shipping Association has adopted environmental strategies that are quite ambitious. They have set full sustainability and zero emissions as long-term goals for the Norwegian shipping industry. I believe that Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics can pride itself on having been an important factor in getting the Norwegian shipping industry to raise its environmental standards even higher."

– Rasmus Hansson, CEO of WWF Norway

“Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics works by a thorough, innovative and proactive environmental policy, far ahead of international standards and regulations."
