For its commitment to environmental management, Aegean Bunkering has been awarded a certificate according to the international ISO 14001:2004 standard from Germanischer Lloyd (GL).

The certification proves that Aegean Bunkering follows the principles of ISO 14001 and monitors environmental aspects of its business activities.

Dr Hermann J. Klein, Member of the Executive Board, GL presented the certificate to Dimitris Melissanidis, the owner of Aegean Bunkering, and his general manager Nikos Hondos.

"The company implemented a state of the art environmental management system especially developed for bunkering tankers. The system operates satisfactorily onboard the fleet with remarkable success in the limitation of wastes and emissions," explained Dr Klein.

"More and more organizations are required to demonstrate a sound management of economic, social and environmental issues to ensure sustainable development. Outlining the requirements for an environmental management system, a certification according to ISO 14001 covers all environmental activities of an organization. This helps to minimize negative effects on the environment and to comply with applicable laws and regulations," GL said.
