ESG in the Shipping Industry

Download

Key Takeaways

  • About 90% (OECD, n.d.) of global trade is carried by ships. The shipping industry contributes 2.6% of global emissions, but it’s growing quickly.
  • A strategic ESG plan that makes a company more attractive starts with emissions, labour rights, and business ethics. Companies must use ESG standards and frameworks to collect and disclose sustainability data to boost performance and long-term value while meeting ESG problems. This will benefit the organisation, stakeholders, and community.
  • In 2018, IMO set a goal for the shipping industry to reduce average intensity of CO2 emissions by 40% by 2030 and total annual GHG emissions by 50% by 2050. (IMO, 2022) In 2016, IMO implemented a Data Collection System that required ships above 5,000 gross tonnes to report annual fuel oil usage and CO2 emissions. (2021) Thus, international shipping has the first worldwide GHG emissions standards. The approach covers emissions, energy efficiency, and air pollution.
