Sustainability Strategy
Creating Space for Anything, Anywhere – Responsibly
SUSTAINABILITY AT THE CORE: Our approach to responsible storage solutions
At TITAN Containers, we believe in creating space not just for storage, but for opportunity, growth, and positive change. Our commitment is to continuously innovate storage solutions that protect what matters most to our customers, while also safeguarding the environment, being a responsible employer, and upholding transparency and integrity through strong governance.
We believe that integrating robust Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles into our business is not only vital for sustainability but also contributes to long-term financial success. As a company focused on container-based storage, our sustainability impact spans the entire value chain—from raw material extraction and manufacturing to transport, storage and recycling.
Therefore, our strategy is founded on three key pillars:
STORAGE SOLUTIONS
Focus on eco-friendly innovations, reducing the environmental footprint of our container fleet, and partnering with our customers to minimize impacts in the use-phase.
INTERNAL OPERATING FOUNDATION
Managing environmental, social, and governance issues within our own operations to ensure responsible practices across all levels of the business.
VALUE CHAIN IMPACT
Working closely with suppliers to address ESG challenges throughout the container and transport value chain.
SØREN MOGENSEN
CEO TITAN CONTAINERS
Sustainability remains a journey of continuous improvement for TITAN, and we embrace the challenges and opportunities it presents. We keep on reviewing our progress, introducing new metrics for more transparency, and aligning with new regulations, all with a determination to create positive impact. We look forward to continuing the work in 2024 and for the years to come.
We have reduced our carbon footprint by shifting to electric vehicles in the fleet; we installed solar panels in more of our facilities, and our product development continues to deliver more sustainable and energy-efficient products, e.g., energy savings are realized due to thicker insulation of our ArcticStore containers. These are just some of the environmental achievements, and more are in the pipeline.
We are fortunate to have a dedicated workforce, many of whom have long-standing ties to the company and view themselves as part of the ‘TITAN family.’ In 2024, we have made their Health & Safety one of our top priorities, as we want to address improvements in the working environment with the same rigor as we have done in our environmental management programme.

TRANSITIONING TO SOLAR ENERGY
17,000 M2 SITE SUPPLIED 100% by solar panels
Kolding, Denmark: We are very proud of our Kolding self-storage and depot site in Denmark which is a role model for our green transition: it is the largest TITAN site supplied 100% by solar panels, opened in June 2023.
Its total area is 17,000m2. We have replaced the old roof and installed an 85kWh solar system on the 1,800 m2 hall. On top of this, we have added a 10kWh battery to supply CCTV, lights etc.
We have an electric fleet at this depot consisting of a Mercedes e-Vito, Toyota Proace, a HELI CPD35 100% electric forklift, and a Carer A120X 100% electric forklift.
The vehicles are charged on the site, all powered by solar energy. We have made a green wall in the office, where customers can learn about our on-site solar power production and hear about our vision and mission.
Our Solar Manager software can monitor the performance of solar panels, inverters, and other components in real-time and help us to analyze the financial aspects of solar energy systems. It can calculate the return on investment, project payback period, and provide insights into energy cost savings.
To further optimize energy consumption, all lamps throughout the office have been replaced with adaptive lighting technology. Equipped with advanced sensors, these intelligent lighting systems adjust the artificial light output based on the available natural light.
As daylight diminishes, the sensors gradually increase the brightness to ensure a well-lit environment that supports productivity and comfort. Conversely, when natural light intensifies, the sensors dim the artificial lighting, conserving energy while maintaining adequate illumination.
The main hall has been divided into six zones, each equipped with motion sensor-controlled lamps. This dynamic setup allows our customers to navigate through the self-storage effortlessly, without the need to manually switch the lights on or off.
