Shipping companies name four reasons for addressing social issues
but shipping companies do not explicitly mention CSR on their websites

“We will make available
the carbon dioxide
emissions per
container to clients”
Shipping company executive
“I believe that shippers will increasingly be drawn
to those ships which attract lower costs for the
supply chain from lower emissions”
Shipping association executive
“Ignore the politics:
carbon is now a
commercial
imperative”

“The world will expect the ship-ping
industry to give money to help mitigate
the damage ships cause or to invest in
new answers for the future“

Reducing bunker consumption reduces fuel costs and proportionally
reduces CO2 emissions with positive impact on environment
• CO2 emissions can be directly translated into fuel consumption and thus bunker costs
• Reducing fuel consumption improves operating profit and has a positive impact on GHG emissions

Concluding remarks: Success in CSR involves strategic choices, which
need to be viewed as long-term investments
• General social: CSR is likely to be in the form of corporate philanthropy
- Charitable giving may have limited benefit for the business of a ship owner/operator
• Direct operational: CSR is likely to be compliance driven (regulation or from charterers/supply-chain)
- Markets always ask for safer, greener, smarter vessels but everyone must comply with regulations
• Strategic competitive: CSR for strategic advantage where investments benefit society and business
- For example, energy efficiency, and increasingly long-term investments in optimum ship designs
Current view of CSR for shipping:
CSR must create shared value for business and society
