Partnering for a greener, fairer future
At NTEX, we are committed to being a responsible and contributing company, constantly mindful of our impact on society and the environment. Our sustainability efforts aim to create value for our customers, employees, and other stakeholders by offering sustainable transport and logistics solutions as well as caring for safe work environment and business ethics. This involves balancing and managing the four key focus areas of our sustainability roadmap: environment, safety, people, and society.
We align our efforts with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, focusing particularly on Goal 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) and Goal 13 (Climate Action). We believe that collaboration is the key to achieving these goals. By working closely with our customers, suppliers, and partners, we strive to create innovative solutions and meet common sustainability objectives. Together, we can tackle today’s challenges and build a better future.
Environment
Our top priority in sustainable development is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. We have set our targets to achieve net zero emissions by 2050, with a 50% reduction by 2040. We work continuously on optimizing transport logistics, increasing truck fill rates as well as investing in biofuels and other fossil-free fuel alternatives.
- UN Sustainable Development Goals: Goal 11 (Sustainable cities and communities), Goal 13 (Climate Action) and Goal 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production).
- Stakeholder perspective: More sustainable transport solutions and options for reducing negative climate impact such as using less affecting fuel alternatives for example. We are constantly developing our products within route optimization, using different biofuels, truck options and intermodal transport.
Safety
Safety is paramount at NTEX. We prevent injuries and protect goods throughout our operations, covering everything from safe work environment at warehouses and terminals, road safety, theft prevention and safe handling of hazardous materials. Continuous safety training and strict guidelines ensure our high standards. We have a zero mission perspective to work related accidents.

People
Our employees are our greatest asset. We foster an inclusive and equal corporate culture where everyone can thrive. We uphold zero tolerance for discrimination and harassment and emphasize diversity and a positive working environment. Fair treatment and human rights do only apply to our own workforce, but also to workers in our supply chain.
- UN Sustainable Development Goals: Goal 5 (Gender Equality) and Goal 10 (Reduced Inequalities).
- Stakeholder perspective: Confidence in a company that values fairness and diversity, enhancing company culture and innovation. A company that cares about its external relations and believes in mutual respect.
What is carbon offsetting?
Carbon offsetting means that you compensate for your unavoidable carbon emissions by financing various activities that either prevent the release of, reduce or remove greenhouse gas emissions from the atmosphere. For example, your carbon offset can go to programs for planting trees, energy efficiency or investments in renewable energy. The projects NTEX compensates via are certified by the Gold Standard – a certification standard that is approved and trusted by more than 80 international environmental organizations.
Governance
We implement robust governance principles to achieve our sustainability goals, guided by EU directives, management systems and main owner Stena AB’s principles. Risk and materiality assessments point out our direction and transparent reporting ensures that we take the work seriously.
- UN Sustainable Development Goals: Goal 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions).
- Stakeholder perspective: Assurance of working with a reliable partner or employer committed to high business ethics and continuous improvement.
