Protecting the Baltic Sea
Viking Line actively contributes to the work for protecting the Baltic Sea by supporting environmental organisations operating in the area in different ways.
Donations to environmental work in the Baltic Sea
Since 2014, Viking Line has run a campaign in which it donates some of the revenue generated from the sale of plastic carrier bags in the shops on board to environmental work in the Baltic Sea. The bags are made of renewable plastic, and in 2018, we chose to donate 50,000 euros to two environmental organizations: the Keep the Archipelago Tidy Association in Finland and the Baltic Sea Fund at the University of Helsinki.
We want to emphasize the importance of the benefits from working directly with these environmental organizations, since they work with great focus to achieve visible and concrete results in the local environment. This donation is used, among other things, for information campaigns, environmental work and the maintenance of recycling centres and lavatories in the Baltic archipelagos.
Small things matters
Our environmental responsibility is visible in many ways in the daily life on board. The coffee grown on Viking Line’s ships is organically grown. The fish served also comes from sustainable sources recommended by Miljöstyrningsrådet in Sweden.
