Finnlines takes into account its social responsibilities and economic and environmental aspects in all its activities. Finnlines has reported on its responsible management of the environment and human resources since 1999 and has been part of the Grimaldi Group’s Sustainability Report since 2015. Reporting includes, in addition to financial figures, key indicators related to the employees and the environment. Grimaldi Group’s Sustainability Report follows the GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) guidelines. In 2026, Finnlines publishes an additional Sustainability Review to enhance transparency and communication around sustainable development in its operations.

Commitment to global goals

We are committed to providing services that are economically sustainable and environmentally friendly. We continuously reduce our environmental footprint, and Finnlines is well aligned with the IMO’s (UN’s International Maritime Organization) target to reduce the carbon intensity of ships’ by 40 per cent by 2030. Finnlines has already exceeded this target, having reduced fleet carbon intensity by 41 per cent when compared to the 2008 baseline and remains committed to an annual reduction of 2 per cent.
