• Environment: We believe that focus on the environment is our responsibility, but it is also good business and a key driver for our sustained success in Ultrabulk.
• Digitalisation: We are willing to invest in innovative technology, and we are striving to support the commercial activities by being a leader in digitalisation, by taking better and more timely decisions, and by working smarter not harder through automation.
• Talent diversity: Our people are the most important assets we have, and supporting and embracing the differences we have is key for Ultrabulk’s long-term success as a company.
