SUSTAINABILITY
At its core, Algoma’s sustainability strategy recognizes the foundations that form the basis of our approach to sustainability. These include: strong corporate governance; our
shared values; our commitments to community and shared prosperity; and the robust management system policies and procedures that have been in place for many years. The strategy is continuously updated to reflect Algoma’s current sustainability priorities.
ENVIRONMENT
Lowering Our Carbon Footprint
Since 2010, Algoma has invested over $560 million in fleet renewal and introduced 10 new Equinox Class vessels to the Canadian Dry-Bulk fleet with two additional vessels currently under construction.
Our new Equinox Class vessels were designed and constructed with energy efficiency improvements, achieving a 40% improvement in carbon intensity when compared to the ships they have replaced. These ships have brought technological advancements in fuel efficiency, cargo capacity and real time vessel monitoring. We have also set new GHG reduction targets: a
40% reduction in GHG emissions by 2030, and to reach net-zero by 2050.
SOCIAL
WE'RE POWERED BY OUR PEOPLE
At Algoma, we prioritize fostering growth and ensuring a safe, inclusive workplace for our shipboard and shoreside teams. Our 125-year history reflects a commitment to employee well-being through competitive salaries, benefits, education, injury prevention, and a diverse, inclusive environment. Our aim is to empower our people and promote a sense of belonging and
pride in contributing to the success of the Bear family.
