In 1991, Eimskip became one of the first companies in Iceland to establish an environmental policy. Since then, challenges in this field have developed rapidly and the transportation industry, as well as others, realizes how important environmental issues are for the world today. Much has been accomplished since 1991, and Eimskip continues to take further steps toward improving its environmental performance and aligning to global and international initiatives.
