Alkagesta ESG Report 2025
As a global commodity trading company, Alkagesta recognizes its responsibility to conduct business with integrity, transparency, and respect for people and the planet. In 2025, the company pushed further: expanding environmental accountability, deepening community partnerships, and reinforcing the governance systems that underpin responsible growth.
Environmental Stewardship
Alkagesta completed its second corporate emissions assessment in 2025, recording 16,356 tCO₂e in Scope 1 and 37 tCO₂e in Scope 2. The Scope 1 increase versus 2024 (8,178 tCO₂e) reflects expanded operational activity across the company's vessel and vehicle fleets. Looking ahead, Alkagesta is evaluating Scope 3 integration to provide a fuller picture of its environmental footprint.
Its UCO recycling operations grew strongly: 1,856,631 kg collected (+11.4%) and 1,781,520 kg processed (+12.7%) year-on-year. Further milestones include the launch of 0.1 ULSFO trading in the Mediterranean, progress on eliminating single-use plastics, and the continued development of its Biofuels Business Strategy.
Social Responsibility
In 2025, Alkagesta deepened its community commitments through two key partnerships: the Arab Bank Foundation, supporting education and humanitarian programs for vulnerable communities, and WISTA Malta, advancing women's leadership across the maritime and trading sectors.
Internally, the company hosted over 10 employee-led knowledge-sharing sessions, completed 100% inclusive leadership training for all managers, and grew external ESG partnerships by 20%. For Alkagesta, social impact is embedded in how it operates — because resilient communities enable resilient markets.
Governance and Ethics
Alkagesta's governance structure — led by the Board of Directors, Executive Board, and specialized committees — continued to evolve in 2025. Its compliance infrastructure, spanning World-Check, SeaSearcher, PurpleTrac, MarineTraffic, Kpler, Infospectrum, and Dynamar, enables comprehensive due diligence across counterparties, vessels, and transactions, ensuring full alignment with UN, EU, OFAC, OFSI, and SECO sanctions regimes.
