Sustainability in the Maritime Industry

Leading sustainability in the maritime industry

At Aros, sustainability is part of how we operate — not a separate agenda. From supporting international maritime sustainability initiatives to running our Klaipėda headquarters on solar power, we are reducing our environmental footprint while continuing to deliver complex projects at scale

Our commitment to responsible partnerships

We hold ourselves and our supply chain to the same standard. Our Supplier Code of Conduct sets clear expectations on quality, safety, labor standards, and environmental responsibility — because how a project is delivered matters as much as the result.

Marine environmental management & certification

Our environmental management approach is built on internationally recognized standards. We hold ISO 14001:2015 certification — and we treat it as a baseline, not a ceiling.

Global efforts in sustainable maritime practices

Sustainable Maritime Interiors Initiative

Aros is a signatory of the Sustainable Maritime Interiors declaration — aligned with United Nations goals and backed by maritime sector stakeholders. The initiative aims to improve the full life cycle of passenger ship interiors. We are committed participants because lasting change in this industry requires collective action.

“Zero waste” refit project

In partnership with Kaunas University of Technology, Aros launched the Zero Waste Refit Project — rethinking traditional refit processes through upcycled, lightweight, and durable materials. A practical step toward reducing waste at the project level.

Local sustainability initiatives

We act locally as well as globally. Our Klaipėda operations are where we put our sustainability commitments into practice day to day.

recycle Recycling & Waste Reduction

We've centralized office waste sorting by removing personal trash cans and placing dedicated recycling stations in shared spaces. This ensures higher recycling accuracy and reduces landfill waste.

Filtered Tap Water

To cut down on plastic, we provide filtered tap water throughout our offices — eliminating the need for single-use bottles.

Corporate Social Responsibility Projects

From team fitness initiatives to the 100 Hours of Kindness campaign, our people are at the heart of our sustainable culture. Volunteering at the Lithuanian Red Cross, Food Bank, and more — we give back to the communities we work in.

Urban Beehives & Biodiversity

In 2024, we installed two rooftop urban beehives on our Klaipėda warehouse in partnership with Urbanbee.lt. These natural wood hives support local biodiversity and pollination.

Solar Power Investment

We've installed a 70 kW solar power plant at our Klaipėda headquarters — generating clean, renewable energy and reducing our operational carbon footprint.

Committed to a greener marine future

There is more to do — and we know it. Aros will continue to invest in sustainability: through the projects we take on, the partners we work with, and the way we run our own operations. The marine sector is complex. So is getting it right. We are committed to both.
