Sustainability & Future
New Wave Group has two main strategies to decrease our environmental impact and to cut our emission of greenhouse gases . First of all , we must influence the transportation companies that we are working with . Our membership in “ Clean Shipping Index ” aims to impact the shipping companies to use cleaner vessels by ranking the most high-performing ships . The Group works with some of the largest transportation companies on the market , all of which have environmental programs in place for their operations . Secondly , we always strive to improve our internal logistics and work methods . Within our group of companies , we club together as much as possible of our shipments and transportations . In addition to protecting the environment , sustainable solutions can also contribute to the streamlining of our operations .
