Avoid before re-using before disposal
In the field of continuous improvements in attaining environmental targets, Hanseatic Lloyd pursues a proactive approach. After an intensive setting-up phase, in mid-June 2010 the environmental management system of the shore organisations of Hanseatic Lloyd in Bremen and thus also of the technically supported fleet was certified to the environmental standard ISO 14001:2004 by the classification society Germanischer Lloyd. The introduction of an environmental management system is carried out on a voluntary basis.
In accordance with the principle ”avoid before re-using before disposal”, the environmental management system integrated numerous individual activities in the field of environmental protection on board and ashore that already existed at Hanseatic Lloyd into a holistic system. By means of a constant control cycle between planning, execution, controlling and optimising of operating processes that is described within the framework of ISO 14001, it is guaranteed that great importance will continue to be attached to environmental targets at Hanseatic Lloyd in the future.
Besides the obligatory ISM and ISPS certifications, the company Hanseatic Lloyd Schiffahrt which is responsible for the technical and nautical management of the Hanseatic Lloyd vessels is additionally certified to the quality management system ISO 9001 on a voluntary basis. At Hanseatic Lloyd, quality assurance forms part of a pivotal task definition that all the employees feel obliged to adhere to in practice. Protection of the environment, the sparing use of natural resources and the preservation of the basis for life of future generations are major concerns of the group of companies. Responsibility towards humans and the environment numbers among the declared principles in the values and basic principles of Hanseatic Lloyd.
