Energy transition, investments in modern and low-emission technologies, safety initiatives, and more than PLN 1.3 million allocated to social projects – these are just some of the ESG initiatives carried out by Baltic Hub last year. The terminal has published its 2025 Sustainability Report, which presents the consistent implementation of its ESG strategy and the development of activities supporting the environment, employees and local communities.

The past year was a breakthrough period for Baltic Hub, both operationally and in terms of investment. It brought record handling results and the completion of the largest investment in the company’s history. Baltic Hub achieved a handling volume of 2.77 million TEU, representing a 23% increase compared with the previous year. At the same time, Terminal T3 – the largest investment in Baltic Hub’s history – was completed and put into operation, increasing the terminal’s handling capacity to 4.5 million TEU per year. The terminal handled 763 vessels, including 265 ocean-going ships including largest vessels afloat.

– 2025 showed that we can continue to grow the scale of our operations while pursuing ambitious sustainability goals. We completed the most important investment in Baltic Hub’s history, achieved record handling volumes, expanded our network of services, and continued our decarbonisation and occupational safety efforts. This is the result of the commitment of our employees and partners, with whom we are jointly developing a modern terminal that responds to the needs of the market, our customers and our surroundings – says Jan van Mossevelde, CEO of Baltic Hub.

Energy transition and climate action

Operational and investment growth was pursued in parallel with ambitious climate targets. In 2025, 100% of the electricity used by Baltic Hub was covered by guarantees of origin confirming that an equivalent amount of energy had been generated from renewable sources. The company also continued the electrification of its vehicle fleet, the development of low-emission technologies and tests of HVO fuel as an alternative to conventional fuels used in terminal operations.

These activities are part of Baltic Hub’s long-term decarbonisation strategy, which assumes a 50% reduction in CO₂ emissions by 2030 compared with the 2019 baseline, and achieving climate neutrality in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2050. As a result, the terminal’s development goes hand in hand with reducing its impact on the climate.

Innovations for the environment and the Baltic Sea

Among the most innovative environmental projects carried out in the past year was the purchase and handover of an autonomous BeBot robot to the Gdańsk Sports Centre. The device is designed to clean beaches of small waste such as cigarette butts, plastic fragments and glass. It is the first solution of its kind in Poland, enabling waste to be removed effectively without disturbing the local ecosystem. It is estimated that, with regular use, the device could remove up to 27.5 tonnes of waste within six months.

Safety and community remain priorities

Safety is one of the key pillars of Baltic Hub’s operations. In 2025, the company continued to develop its safety culture, focusing on education, employee engagement and the improvement of everyday practices and procedures. The “Safety in Our DNA” programme, the OHS Alert system, the “Safe Employee of the Quarter” initiative, as well as events such as Safety Week and the family-oriented Safety Fest, supported the development of awareness, responsibility and open communication in the area of safety.

 Social engagement is another pillar of Baltic Hub’s activities. Last year, the company allocated approximately PLN 1.3 million to social, educational and charitable projects, implementing more than 65 initiatives together with nearly 70 partners. A special place among these activities is held by the “Busole” grant programme, under which seven local projects received a total of PLN 250,000 in support. In 2025, the company also continued its employee volunteering programme, “ZawijaMY z pomocą”. Thanks to the involvement of employees, a number of activities were carried out to support both environment and local organisations.

Impact on the Polish Economy

Baltic Hub plays an important role not only in international supply chains, but also in the development of the Polish economy. In 2025, the company paid more than PLN 218 million into the state budget in the form of taxes and social security contributions, while cooperating with more than 1,300 freight forwarding companies and customs agencies, nearly 1,800 road carriers and 34 rail companies.

 An important aspect of the terminal’s impact on the economy is also the state budget revenue related to the handling of foreign trade. In 2025, the terminal generated approximately PLN 41 billion in state budget revenue from so-called border taxes, including VAT, customs duties and excise duty. The scale of these revenues demonstrates the importance of Baltic Hub for Poland’s trade exchange and the efficient functioning of the national economy.

A year of tangible action

For Baltic Hub, 2025 was a year of major investments, record results and activities that had a real impact on employees, the environment and local communities.
