-: Today, the shipping industry is falling behind
in the global race for sustainability.
Only 46% of the largest companies have committed
to ESG targets, such as net-zero emissions by 2050.
The outlook is clear.
Ignoring the green transition is not an option.
The landscape is changing and generating pressure to act.
Those who do act will benefit from this opportunity.
-: The industry is shifting.
Regulators and customers are
and will hold us more accountable
across environmental, social, and governmental practices.
Given the change, we knew
that we at Navigator Gas needed to take a step forward
and address ESG with a holistic
and structured approach that would allow us
to reach our sustainability goals.
But we faced the question many shipping firms face
of how to get started.
-: We must understand that performing well
on sustainability is not just a positive differentiator.
It is increasingly becoming tomorrow's license to operate.
First movers have a real opportunity
to reach longer-term exclusive agreement with suppliers,
to set industry standards
and develop ingrained relationships
with customers and investors.
The playbook we have developed with BCG
with the intent to provide guidance on exactly that
and to help ship-owners across segments develop a focused
and actionable ESG strategy.
We hope that by providing this guidance,
we can make it easier for more companies
in developing solid ESG strategies with clear,
ambitious targets and supporting actions.
-: It is developed to assist
in diagnosing your current state,
defining focus areas from an array of best practices,
and setting commitments and developing initiatives,
ultimately helping accelerate your ESG journey.
It has been tried and tested by our teams,
giving us the confidence that this really
is the solution that can move the needle for your company.
-: From the collaboration with BCG
and the Mærsk McKinney Møller Center
for Zero Carbon Shipping,
we were able to reach a major milestone
in our ESG journey.
Their approach has been key in developing a clear roadmap
across initiatives and targets.
From this joint effort,
our organization is equipped to reach our decarbonization
and sustainability commitments.
-: We believe that change is possible
and we have created the approach to help you make it happen.
Now is the time to lead, not lag.
Get involved and learn more on how to make this possible.
