Greencarrier is proud to announce a new partnership with the John Nurminen Foundation — one of the leading organizations dedicated to protecting the Baltic Sea and preserving its maritime heritage. Through a three-year collaboration, Greencarrier will support the Foundation’s projects to restore marine ecosystems, reduce pollution from shipping, and protect the marine environment.
Greencarrier chose to partner with the Foundation because of its measurable results, long-standing expertise, and transparent, hands-on approach to environmental restoration.
Since 1992, the John Nurminen Foundation has been working to improve understanding of the Baltic Sea and to mitigate the risks that it faces. The foundation runs a series of projects aimed at improving water quality, reducing nutrient loads, and addressing related environmental challenges such as eutrophication and biodiversity loss.
A portion of Greencarrier’s annual contribution for 2026 will support the SeaToo Project — a large-scale initiative focused on restoring underwater habitats, such as seagrass meadows along the coasts of Finland and Sweden, helping to strengthen the Baltic Sea’s resilience to climate change.
The partnership aligns with Greencarrier’s Blue Initiative, a key part of the company’s 2027 strategy, which supports various projects aimed at reducing the environmental impact of shipping and promote healthier oceans.
“The Baltic Sea is at the core of our logistics operations, connecting our offices and communities across the Nordic and Baltic region. Through our partnership with the John Nurminen Foundation and support for the SeaToo Project, we are taking tangible steps to safeguard marine ecosystems and contribute to real restoration work for the Baltic Sea’s future,” says Josefine Widegren, Owner and Board Member, Greencarrier Group.
“Our long-term work for the Baltic Sea has paid off, but there is still a long way to go before the Baltic Sea is in good condition. The healthy sea is more tolerant of ever-increasing effects of the climate change. Thank you Greencarrier for the long-lasting commitment to supporting our work to save the Baltic Sea and its heritage”, says the CEO of John Nurminen Foundation, Annamari Arrakoski-Engardt.
Greencarrier Group is a Swedish-owned logistics company providing transport and logistics solutions across the Nordics, Baltics, Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic, and Singapore. Beyond its core operations, the Group is committed to sustainability in the maritime sector through initiatives like the Greencarrier Blue Initiative, which aims to reduce the environmental impact of shipping and support long-term ocean conservation and healthier oceans. Greencarrier is also the owner of the Swedish East India Company (SOIC), including the historic ship Götheborg, reflecting the company’s strong connection to maritime heritage.
