ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) reporting has gained increasing importance in the shipping industry as companies face growing pressure to adopt sustainable practices. Shipping companies are incorporating ESG framework to enhance transparency, manage environmental impacts, and address social and governance challenges.
The International Maritime Organization's enforcement of more stringent environmental legislation, as well as the Poseidon principles, and other environmental changes, necessitates that shipping companies allocate additional resources to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) activities. International liner transportation companies are discovering that the implementation of ESG management is necessary for increased competitiveness.
