=== 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.
