Finnish Marine Industries’ ResponSea initiative is about creating sustainable maritime together for the future world. The Finnish marine industry develops the sustainability of its products and its network together throughout the industry, and informs of the positive outcome its actions have on the society and the environment.

ResponSea focuses on reducing the environmental impact of shipping and shipbuilding, continuous development of the industry’s companies as fair employers, monitoring the sustainability of the delivery chain and enhancing circular economy and lifecycle efficiency in all actions. In our vision, the marine industry’s processes stress the environment and the people as little as possible.

Vision

  • Our actions result in an economical and sustainable vessel, equipment and systems

Actions

  • We develop the sustainability of our products and our network

In Commitment2050 initiative, the association defines the marine industry's objectives for sustainable development and encourages the companies of the industry to develop in sustainability. Finnish Marine Industries also encourages companies to give their own commitments for sustainable development.
