Sustainable Energy Solutions

Sustainability is a word that many companies like to use, but few exemplify. A company that embraces sustainability takes responsibility for the impact of its operations on the environment. That means noting and taking action on the opportunities, threats, and challenges that impact climate change and public health due to their products, manufacturing, waste, and supply chain operations. Some examples of corporate social responsibility and sustainability solutions include:

• Community engagement and philanthropic giving
• Direct and indirect emissions
• Energy consumption for transportation, cooling, and heating
• Foreign labor conditions
• Material use, reuse, and recycling
• Water use and management
• Workplace and employee wellness

Renewable Energy and Carbon Reduction Solutions From a Trusted Industry Partner

World Fuel Services knows that as a Global Fortune 150 company, it is our responsibility to be an example, leading the industry in safe, responsible, and efficient operations. We have an obligation to our stakeholders, employees, customers, and global citizens to not only strive to do no harm, but to find solutions that drive positive change. That means protecting communities and the people who live in them, respecting the environment, and maintaining a culture of safety and sustainability. Our goal is to help bring about a zero-carbon world by partnering with organizations that support that mission. 

We also strongly advocate for human rights. Our company has signed the United Nations Global Compact, which champions human rights labor, the environment, and anti-corruption. Respect and trust are vital to any business, and we believe in fostering that not only with our partners and customers but with our employees. Diversity and inclusion are two of the pillars of our success.

A Successful Track Record of Supporting Sustainability

Sustainability isn't a new concept for World Fuel Services. We have supported and facilitated the increased availability of renewable energy and services for many years, including sustainable fuel products. Our long-term strategy is to increase our commitment to health and safety, the environment, and social responsibility. In doing so, we want to accomplish cost-effective solutions for our clients and increase the availability and sustainability of low to zero-carbon energy sources.

Some of our sustainability solutions to date have included:

• First Sustainable Aviation Fuel Demonstration in Europe
• World Fuel Services Goes Carbon Neutral
• World Fuel Services Joins the Getting to Zero Coalition
   

There are many different ways to achieve carbon reduction, but only a few that work for the environment as well as your operational success. Where are you on the Path to Net Zero? The team at World Kinect has a proven track record of providing custom sustainability consultations and solutions for business and industry around the globe.

In 2019, we took significant steps to further strengthen our public commitment to operate more sustainably and proactively work with the communities in which we operate by becoming a signatory to the United Nations (“UN”) Global Compact, the world’s largest corporate responsibility initiative, and becoming fully carbon neutral for our global operations. We intend to support and engage in collaborative projects to advance the broader UN goals, with a special focus on the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are a call for action to tackle some of the most pressing challenges facing our planet.

While our actions and initiatives serve to support a number of SDGs, we have selected the following goals that we believe represent areas where we can have the greatest positive impact on our employees, customers, suppliers, communities, and other stakeholders and will serve to guide our focus and strategy throughout the next several years:
