Sustainability-linked finance progress report 2025
Framework overview and KPI Wallenius Wilhelmsen’s Sustainability-linked financing framework (“the Framework”), published in January 2022, continues to underpin Wallenius Wilhelmsen group approach to linking financing expenses to climate performance. As of 2025, the Group has issued sustainability-linked bonds and bank facilities across multiple legal entities, reinforcing sustainability as an integrated part of our capital structure (see Appendix).
This is a progress report on the status of the key performance indicator (KPI) and should be read in conjunction with the “Environment” chapter on pages 51 to 87 in the 2025 annual report.
The Framework links financing pricing to Wallenius Wilhelmsen’s target to reduce CO2e intensity by 27.5 percent from 2019 to 2030. The chosen KPI for the framework is the fleet weighted average CO2e intensity in line with IMO’s CII regulation. This report discloses the performance of the KPI of the framework for the calendar year 2025.
KPI performance - calendar year 2025 In 2024, Wallenius Wilhelmsen strengthened its climate strategy, establishing SBTi- validated targets and a net-zero ambition by 2040. In 2025, Wallenius Wilhelmsen’s overall emissions remained broadly stable compared with the prior year. Changing global trade patterns and increased trade imbalances made it harder to cut emissions per transport unit, but this was partly offset by more low carbon fuel use and operational efficiencies. We also increased the fleet compared to the previous year. Performance improvements were driven by technical energy-efficiency measures, operational optimization, and expanded use of sustainably certified biofuels and LNG.
In 2025, we met the targeted CO2 intensity. The KPI result was 4.92 gCO2 per GT.nm which is well below the 2025 target of 5.20 and compared to the 2024 target of 5.40 gCO2 per GT.nm.
Composition for the controlled fleet During 2025, Wallenius Wilhelmsen operated 124 owned and long-term chartered vessels under this framework. Please refer to Wallenius-Wilhelmsen-Factsheet-Q4- 2025.xlsx for a complete list of Controlled fleet vessels (“owned” and “Long T/C”) included in the IMO DCS reporting for the reported period.
