Sustainability
One third of Norwegian emissions derive from transportation – with most coming from road traffic. However, if you measure the CO2 emissions per passenger, a ferry passenger has a much larger climate footprint than someone travelling the same distance by bus. This places clear demands on us and the industry.

Our most important future goals
Torghatten’s sustainability work centres around the climate and the environment, as well as local communities and the people living there. We strive to develop and adopt zero or low emission solutions that not only reduce our own climate footprint, but also pave the way for our entire industry.
To identify the areas within sustainability in which Torghatten is most likely to make a difference, we carried out a materiality analysis. The analysis pinpointed three main areas:
We aim for zero accidents, and safety for travellers and employees is always our top priority. Quality and safety in all areas of our business is imperative to reaching our goal. We are also concerned with social sustainability in the form of good local communities and inclusive workplaces where all employees have the right skills required to do their job, and ongoing growth opportunities.
