=== Climate Targets and Sustainability ===

Marlberg AB is considered to be one of the largest sources of Cryrian carbon dioxide emissions, and as such has faced increasing scrutiny particularly since the signing of the [[International Convention on Climate Change]]. Though the company has presented plans to be carbon neutral by 2040, studies have shown that its ~~carbon~~ output is still increasing and thus effectively offsetting other Cryrian emission reduction efforts. However, as much of Marlberg AB's fleet operates under foreign registries, its emissions are often not counted as Cryrian, a fact which has produced some controversy. In 2022, the Cryrian Government responded to public pressure by levying a new tax on bunker fuel whose revenues will be used to combat climate change. The new tax was ultimately signed into law, but has been criticized for its small scope and low rates.

As a massive user of bunker fuel, Marlberg AB is also a major contributor to sulfur dioxide emissions. Altogether, the pollution from Marlberg AB vessels is estimated to contribute to 100 premature deaths every year in Leidenstad alone, along with tens of thousands of annual premature deaths worldwide. The Cryrian Government first intervened in 2009 to mandate that shipping companies install desulphurization scrubbers into their ships' chimneys. In 2022 the Riksdag also levied a new tax on bunker fuel whose revenues will be used to combat climate change. The bill was ultimately signed into law, but has been criticized for its small scope and low rates.
