Sustainable business practices are critical to the foundation of a successful company. Atlas is committed to growing a sustainable business with industry leading financial returns by differentiating ourselves in how we tackle challenges and leverage opportunities. Atlas’ ESG program is designed to build on Seaspan and APR’s strong foundations and strategically align the companies as valuable partners and trusted advisors to customers, employees, investors, and other stakeholders. It captures the many initiatives that have been implemented in our companies and provides a structured approach to the continuous sustainable operation of our companies. Shipping represents the most efficient mode of cargo transportation in terms of energy consumption against distance travelled, and cargo carried, beating ground, rail, and air. However, as the largest independent owner of container ships, Seaspan recognizes its responsibility as a good corporate citizen and strives to embed ESG considerations into every stage of its ship development, operations, and recycling.
