Description

Description "The Sustainable Shipping Initiative (SSI) is a multi-stakeholder initiative that brings together like-minded and leading organisations with shared goals and equal determination in improving the sustainability of the shipping industry in terms of social, environmental and economic impacts.

SSI members recognise that a sustainable shipping industry means: • Changing to a diverse mix of energy sources, using resources more efficiently and responsibly, and dramatically reducing greenhouse gas intensity • Providing safe, healthy and secure work environments so that people want to work in shipping, where they can enjoy rewarding careers and achieve their full potential • Earning the reputation of being a trusted and responsible partner in the communities we live, work and operate • Developing financial solutions that reward sustainable performance and enable large-scale uptake of innovation, technology, design and operational efficiencies • Transparency and accountability drive performance improvements and enable better, sustainable business decision-making • Proactively contributing to the responsible governance of the oceans."

Objectives Bringing together leading companies in the maritime sector to create a sustainable and

successful shipping industry by 2040.

Activities Looking ahead the SSI strategy will focus on three activities:

1.Promoting individual leadership through nearer-term commitments and sharing individual action and performance widely. 2.Innovation platforms that seek to tackle existing barriers in partnership with others and also identify new areas that present risks and opportunities for the industry. 3.Becoming the progressive voice for the industry and scaling up the great solutions that already exist through media and communications activities

Indicators
Goals SSI aims to:

• Shine a light on what is working, and what is needed, to accelerate sustainability and shape and positive narrative • Demonstrate that value can be created through sustainable development • Deepen understanding of key barriers and take action to accelerate progress • Increase collective impact across the industry

Comments on indicators and goals
How will goals be achieved SSI publishes and updates the Roadmap to a sustainable shipping industry, which demonstrates what sustainable shipping can look like by providing a framework and laying out the steps and concrete milestones that need to be achieved.

The Roadmap also guides SSI’s work, which is based on working groups where members and other stakeholders come together to tackle a specific issue within the industry where SSI can make a unique positive impact. In 2020, we have worked on ship recycling, developing sustainability criteria for marine fuels, and have recently launched a working group on seafarers’ labour and human rights.

Have you changed or strenghtened your goals
Progress towards the goals 2018 saw the launch of the Ship Recycling Transparency Initiative (www.shiprecyclingtransparency.org), which aims to improve the ship recycling industry through transparent disclosure of shipowners’ ship recycling policies, practices, and progress. The SRTI publishes an annual Progress report: https://www.shiprecyclingtransparency.org/category/reports/

In 2019, SSI held a series of stakeholder consultations to explore the potential role of sustainable biofuels in shipping’s decarbonisation. You can read more about the process here: https://www.sustainableshipping.org/news/what-is-the-potential-role-if-any-of-sustainable-biofuels-for-shipping/

The report, launched at COP25 in Madrid, can be found here: https://www.sustainableshipping.org/resources/the-role-of-sustainable-biofuels-in-the-decarbonisation-of-shipping/

In 2020 we have announced two new pieces of work: - Sustainability criteria of fuels: https://www.sustainableshipping.org/news/new-collaboration-between-academia-and-industry-partners-defines-sustainability-criteria-for-marine-fuels/ - Delivering on seafarers’ rights: https://www.sustainableshipping.org/news/shipping-industry-leaders-launch-project-for-delivering-on-seafarers-rights/
