OUR 4 STRATEGIC PILLARS:
Ultrabulk has outlined 4 strategic pillars which guide us in our daily work and decision-making:

• Freight trading: Freight trading plays a key role in our strategy – it is a visible shift from thinking like an owner to becoming more trading focused as a company and taking advantage of all the opportunities this change presents.
• Environment: We believe that focus on the environment is our responsibility, but it is also good business and a key driver for our sustained success in Ultrabulk.
• Digitalisation: We are willing to invest in innovative technology, and we are striving to support the commercial activities by being a leader in digitalisation, by taking better and more timely decisions, and by working smarter not harder through automation.
• Talent diversity: Our people are the most important assets we have, and supporting and embracing the differences we have is key for Ultrabulk’s long-term success as a company.

Every ton counts
At Ultranav we are always looking to rethink and develop our practices towards a greener solution. We believe that everyone must own up to the environment and be aware of one’s emissions. That’s why we say: “Every ton of CO2 counts”.

With this guiding principle in mind, we hope to find even more partners and solutions that will help us achieve our climate targets and ultimately lead us to a zero emission fleet and to be climate neutral by 2050.
