ONE Europe and Africa Renews and Expands ISO 14001 Certification, reinforcing Commitment to ESG and Decarbonisation Roadmap

[London, 30th July 2025] – Ocean Network Express (ONE) Europe has successfully renewed its ISO 14001:2015 certification, increasing the scope of the certification to cover more aspects of inland transportation logistics. This is in addition to the ISO 14001 certification held for their marine operations and reinforces their commitment to environmental management across different areas of container transportation.

The renewed certification applies to ONE's inland transportation procurement, but now also covers container depot handling and maintenance and the repair of containers across Europe and Africa. This achievement reaffirms ONE's structured, third-party validated approach to environmental management and compliance.

"This isn't just about certification, it's about accountability and continuous improvement," said Frida Thorborg, Manager of ONE EUA Green Strategy Department. We teamed up with our Maintenance & Repair team to expand the scope and measure performance of key depot suppliers, looking at energy efficiency, waste management and emission monitoring to reduce our joint impact. ISO 14001 is one of several tools we're using to meet our climate ambitions and to help our customers reduce the environmental footprint of their supply chains."

Following this certification expansion, ONE has taken a further step in advancing its global environmental agenda by launching a Ship Recycling Policy and joining the Ship Recycling Transparency Initiative (SRTI). These initiatives extend the company's ESG scope to vessel end-of-life, ensuring that decommissioned ships are recycled only at certified, regulation-compliant facilities.

Together, the increased scope of the ISO 14001 renewal along with ONE's latest recycling commitments illustrate a full-lifecycle sustainability vision from inland operations to responsible ship dismantling offering shippers and stakeholders increased confidence in ONE's environmental integrity.

ONE's ESG strategy includes reducing scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, expanding the use of intermodal and alternative fuel corridors, and enhancing environmental data transparency. The company's commitment to ISO 14001 standards ensures those efforts are embedded into operational routines, supplier management, and performance monitoring.

As the maritime logistics industry moves toward decarbonisation, ONE Europe and Africa's ISO 14001 renewal highlights the company's role as a partner for environmentally conscious shippers and supply chain leaders.
