NEW YORK and LONDON, July 06, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Navigator Holdings Ltd. ("Navigator" or "Company") (NYSE:NVGS), the owner and operator of the world's largest fleet of handysize liquefied gas carriers, is pleased to announce the publication of its 2022 Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) Report (the "ESG Report") and launch of its new ESG strategy ‘Fueling the Future' (the "ESG Strategy").

Building on its progress in ESG over the last few years, the ESG Strategy strengthens Navigator's corporate strategy to connect the world today and deliver a sustainable tomorrow.

Developed with support from Boston Consulting Group and Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping, Navigator's ESG Strategy identifies three ‘lighthouse' focus areas, where the Company believes that, through its capabilities, it can make the biggest impact and lead the shipping industry. In these three areas, Navigator aims to:

  • Contribute to the shipping industry's target to become net zero by 2050;
  • Derive one third of revenues from green cargo such as blue/green ammonia and CO2 by 2030; and
  • Ensure that 35% of onshore leadership positions are filled by women by 2028.

The ESG Strategy is included in the Company's first ESG Report, published today. The 2022 ESG Report marks a step-change in Navigator's approach to ESG, which has seen the creation of an ESG Committee of the Board and the appointment of the Company's first Head of ESG. Navigator seeks to enhance transparency around its ESG performance, including its first Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) Reports.

Mads Peter Zacho, Chief Executive Officer of Navigator, said:

"Developed under the leadership of the ESG Committee of the Board, I'm proud to be launching Navigator's comprehensive inaugural ESG report, complete with ambitions and aims. The aims announced today demonstrate how Navigator wants to lead the shipping industry's contribution to creating a low carbon world. Building on our success to date, I believe that we are in a strong position to lead on this agenda."
