Sustainability

At CRESTLINE GLOBAL LIMITED we take the view that the strides we make towards sustainability are most effective when they are connected. Our sustainability strategy has been developed with the aim of tackling the substantial environmental challenges facing our industry, supporting social and economic initiatives and demonstrating good corporate governance using the UN sustainable development goals as a framework for our actions.

Environmental Initiatives

Reducing Energy Use Onboard & Ashore

CRESTLINE GLOBAL LIMITED operates a modern efficient fleet of vessels and is always alive to opportunities to invest in new vessels using progressive technologies and alternative fuels.

We capture environmental impact and emissions data from our vessels (both owned and managed) and our offices as we believe that accurate data is essential to assessing the impact of our actions on the environment. We use this data to help guide our sustainability policies and activities.

Carbon Offset

CRESTLINE GLOBAL LIMITED has committed to off-setting the carbon emissions generated by our business and the fuel we purchase for our fleet. Through active engagement with our charterers we aim to take this a step further by offering our charterers a competitive platform to offset the emissions of our time-chartered vessels. Shipping faces a monumental challenge to de-carbonise and whilst the ultimate goal is for the fleet to embrace zero-carbon modes of propulsion, we passionately believe that the industry should engage with consumers to mitigate the impact of shipping and the whole consumer supply chain during the transition period.

Environmental Sustainability

At CRESTLINE GLOBAL LIMITED, as an organisation we strive to minimise waste and energy use on our vessels and in our offices through closely monitoring our consumption and continuous education. Our vessels all follow comprehensive efficiency protocols and collectively we strive to reduce office waste. Our annual “Green Week” raises awareness amongst our office-based staff to reinforce the importance of energy efficiency and waste reduction with the underlying message that every small change of habit can add up to a large collective positive impact on the environment we all share.

Social Sustainability Initiatives

Education:

Education: CRESTLINE GLOBAL LIMITED has a strong commitment to supporting and promoting education, particularly in Hong Kong and mainland China. These initiatives are most evident through our working relationships with the Hong Kong Maritime Service Training Institute (MSTI), Shandong Jiaoting University, and other leading maritime colleges across the region. Our experienced professionals regularly provide guidance to maritime students, and we are proud to support scholarship programmes with the aim of providing meaningful funding to aspiring maritime students of the future. At CRESTLINE GLOBAL LIMITED, we take an active involvement in the development of maritime business initiatives for the Greater Bay Area, seeing this as an essential part of the sustainable development of Hong Kong as a leading international maritime and logistics hub.

Seafarer's Welfare:

Seafarer's Welfare: With many of CRESTLINE GLOBAL LIMITED’s management team having extensive experience at sea, we have a deep understanding of the challenges posed by modern-day shipping to crew welfare. The company has always strived to provide a close, structured support network. In association with the Sailors’ Society, we support dedicated programmes like “Wellness at Sea” to provide advice and support for mental health and physical wellbeing onboard. In addition, CRESTLINE GLOBAL LIMITED supports regular crew training seminars as well as dedicated sponsorship programmes to nurture the next generation of maritime talent. We offer unrivaled career development opportunities to all of our staff. We are a proud supporter of the Port Welfare Committee and a donor to the Mission to Seafarers, supporting their work in Hong Kong and globally.

Community:

Community: CRESTLINE GLOBAL LIMITED is a corporate sponsor of the Hong Kong Maritime Museum. We see the Museum as an important part of preserving Hong Kong’s past, invigorating its present, and enhancing its future maritime tradition. CRESTLINE GLOBAL LIMITED also supports artistic and cultural developments in Hong Kong through corporate partnership with the Hong Kong Culture Festival, reflecting our commitment to the local community.
