Peter Whitcutt, chief executive marketing, Anglo American

“The decarbonisation of ocean freight will be critical to shaping a more sustainable maritime industry. Adopting a standard accounting framework will allow us to track our decarbonisation trajectory consistently with IMO standards, relying on transparent and accurate methodologies to define a pathway towards decarbonised shipping operations.”

Hans Christian Jensen, director, Global Ocean Freight, ADM

“We welcome the opportunity to collectively bring greater transparency in our common goals to reduce the carbon footprint of shipping and continually assess the impact of maritime activities on greenhouse gas emissions.”
