Environmental & Social Responsibility

A flag visually represents a nation, carrying with it the ideals, values, and behaviors of a culture. While other flag states may offer deep discounts, with that lower cost comes an affiliation with your vessel. Some countries are known to be hot spots for illegal drug smuggling. While other nations may have subpar or poor environmental track records.

Here at Cinta Asia, we offer flags from governments with stellar environmental track records, several with an on-going commitment toward protecting our planet. Our flags represent the front line of modern environmental protection. Furthermore, all of our flags are located in the South Pacific and operate democratically elected governments with close ties to New Zealand and Australia.

Deciding On The Flag For you

Choose a flag that best represents your company values: from superior environmental commitment to preserve and protect our future, or a peaceful country with ethical governance!
