1. Description of the challenge

As a gas shipping company Anthony Veder is transporting critical products for energy supply and industrial production such as liquefied natural gas and ethylene. We are working towards net zero emissions across our operations, and our goal is to achieve this by 2035. It is a significant challenge to balance this ambition of being a sustainable company and addressing environmental concerns inherent in the maritime industry while also maintaining our customer base and staying competitive and financially healthy. 
 
This dilemma affects branding, personnel management, sustainability initiatives, technology choices, daily operations and recruitment efforts. Key aspects include overcoming the technology hurdles, making financially responsible decisions, managing the industry's polluting image, addressing (future) employee concerns while integrating sustainable practices, and managing customer base and relationships.  
 
The organization needs to create a comprehensive strategy that covers the above areas to effectively navigate and overcome these challenges and achieve its 2035 net zero target. We invite you to think along, and help us by presenting your ideas for strategy implementation and execution. 


This challenge affects the company's reputation, competitiveness, talent management, and overall contribution to global sustainability efforts, and the strategic importance to Anthony Veder. Successfully navigating this challenge will contribute positively to broader environmental and social goals.

2. Expected outcome

We hope this case will give us a better understanding of how we can create a strategy, that covers our branding, internal policies, operational changes and externa communication to avoid these challenges.
