Sustainability

We are committed

We are dedicated to fostering a sustainable future through innovation, investment and continuous improvement.

Our guiding principles.

Having identified sustainability as a top strategic priority in 2022, Marken undertook a stakeholder materiality assessment in 2023 to identify our critical areas of risk, and defined policies and metrics to guide our future efforts towards more transparently sustainable operations and best practice governance.

Design for the Environment

Our services and packaging are designed to reduce consumption of natural resources, minimize waste generated by our operations, and encourage high rates of reuse and recycling. By optimizing our energy selection and prioritizing renewable energy sources, we will minimize greenhouse gas emissions and reduce our carbon footprint.

Social Focus

A profitable business can also prioritize its people and the communities it serves. We prioritize the health and well-being of our employees and acknowledge our impact on the communities in which we work. Fundamentally, our patients are at the heart of everything we do.

Ethical Conscience

Through a robust governance program, we will uphold ethical practices and commit to working with suppliers who share our goals.

EcoVadis Silver Medal

We have been awarded the prestigious EcoVadis Silver Medal for our commitment to sustainability. The EcoVadis medal is one of the most competitive sustainability awards, and we are proud to be among the top 5% of companies in our industry. 

EcoVadis provides the leading solution for monitoring sustainability in supply chains, evaluating more than 150,000 companies on their environmental performance across 21 indicators, divided into four categories: environment, labour & human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. The evaluation score demonstrates how well a company has integrated the principles of Sustainability/CSR into its business and management systems.

ESG Transparency Award

We received the 2024 ESG Transparency Award, presented by EUPD Research during European Sustainability Week. This prestigious recognition highlights organizations that demonstrate excellence in transparency and accountability in their Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) efforts. 

Our commitment to ESG drives us to continue reducing our environmental impact through initiatives such as reusable packaging in our closed-loop service, optimizing distribution networks to reduce waste and carbon emissions, and fostering inclusion and belonging across our organization.

Carbon Reduction Plan

To achieve Net Zero by 2045, we have committed to remove Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from our operations and wider business activities consistently each year until it reaches a Net Zero position for Scope 1, Scope 2 and material Scope 3 emissions. We also commit to an interim target of reducing Scope 1 and Scope 2 CO2e emissions by 50% by 2030 from the 2022 baseline. 

Our ambition is to measure and control Scope 3 emissions so that by 2030, its total CO2e emissions reduce by 47% from the 2022 baseline position. Polar Speed already used 97% renewable electricity under the Market Based methodology and is committed to using 100% renewable electricity by 2035, as described in the Energy Reduction Strategy in our report (see page 19). These targets are consistent with a 1.5°C reduction pathway and are set in accordance with the Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) guidance.

We continue to operate at the leading edge, investing in new technology, enhancing our global network, and lowering our environmental footprint to deliver with quality and excellence.
