The Sustainability Imperative – Part 2
Following the successful launch in February 2021 of our first in-depth report ‘The Sustainability Imperative’, now more than ever we are seeing how the maritime sector is exposed to the impact of global mega-trends such as climate change and the rise in international trade tensions.
Exploring how those within the industry – owners, charterers, financiers and investors – grapple with the current and anticipated environmental, social and corporate governance challenges, and what they mean for the industry, forms the basis of our follow-up report.
The opinions of over 500 industry participants have once again been surveyed and we are excited to share these insights with you in our highly anticipated report The Sustainability Imperative – Part 2.
