Companies in the shipping industry are under constant pressure to improve their environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance.
Whether through investor pressure or internal goals, improving ESG performance has become a vital part of being successful as a company.
While there are many ways to improve ESG performance, it’s clear that technology can play an integral role in achieving these goals.
What does it mean to be an ESG leader?
ESG leaders care about the well-being of their employees, customers, and communities. They work to drive continuous improvement by implementing ESG performance indicators at all levels of the organization.
These companies strive to create an inclusive workplace and are fully transparent with their practices and performance.
Ultimately, they have a strong understanding of what sustainability means, they live it daily and make sure everyone has the opportunity to do so as well.
