Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG)
At CLT Marine, our ESG program forms the foundation of our commitment to responsible, sustainable, and ethical operations. Aligned with international standards like the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, we embed ESG principles into every facet of our work—protecting the environment, supporting our communities, and maintaining strong governance to meet the evolving expectations of our clients and stakeholders.
1
Environmental Sustainability
We lead with sustainability by designing low-emission marine assets, reducing fleet emissions, and investing in cleaner technologies. From route optimization to alternative fuels, our operations are focused on minimizing environmental impact and supporting a cleaner maritime future.
2
Social Responsibility
Our people and communities are at the heart of our mission. We prioritize employee well-being, support local initiatives, and foster partnerships that drive equitable economic development—especially in coastal regions like New Bedford, where we’re deeply engaged in the blue economy.
3
Ethical Governance
We uphold strict governance practices through a dynamic ESG framework rooted in ethics, transparency, and legal compliance. Regular training and a strong code of conduct guide every interaction, ensuring we operate with integrity and accountability across the board.
4
Climate Innovation and Energy Transition
We actively support the global energy transition by facilitating lower-carbon marine operations and enabling renewable energy supply chains. Our long-term vision includes the development of zero- and near-zero-emission vessels powered by battery electric, renewable diesel, and green hydrogen.
5
Stakeholder and Supply Chain Integrity
CLT Marine works closely with partners, suppliers, and clients to uphold shared values of environmental and social responsibility. We promote ethical sourcing, human rights, and fair labor practices across our entire supply chain.

Continuous Improvement and Collaboration
We track progress through KPIs and engage with environmental agencies, research institutions, and regulatory bodies to evolve our ESG strategies. This collaborative, data-driven approach ensures we stay ahead of industry standards and continue to lead by example.
