Our Goals
Our greatest concern is to ensure sustainable development through the safe and responsible transportation of hydrocarbons. For this reason, we have set ourselves specific targets in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Here’s what Hafnia is doing to reach four of these important goals:

We have dedicated teams overseeing our compliance with all international regulations including emissions to air and sea, and we are well prepared for upcoming regulations such as IMO2020, and EU’s CO2 MRV regulation.
Participation in industry groups
Hafnia steers positive change for the environment at the industry level through participation in groups such as WorkGroup 5, and membership in governmental think tanks.
UNSDG#16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions
Promoting a strong sense of integrity through our work at Hafnia contributes to creating peaceful and inclusive societies with provision of justice for all and institutions that can be held to account. We do this through:
Zero Tolerance for Bribery & Corruption
Our employees are instructed to refuse any offers of bribery and corruption and to report them.
Membership of Maritime Anti-Corruption Network (MACN)
We are active members of MACN – a global network tackling corruption in the maritime industry.
Secure supply of hydrocarbons globally
We take a front row seat in the reliable supply of hydrocarbons to increase global stability.
