The Heart of ESG

Real change must be championed from the top, but it’s critical to bring future leaders along the journey to ensure longevity & success. Whatever approach you take, it’s important to make sure that you are transparent with your stakeholders about where you are, as well as where you aim to be. Formulating an ESG strategy should be more than just a visionary exercise; it must be realistic and tailored towards your organisation’s values and purpose.

ESG challenges for low carbon shipping

Elias Demian, Climate and Sustainability Advisor at Moore Greece, speaks to #NAFS magazine about the need for adaptation, the importance of the strategic integrated approach and tools such as the sustainability linked loans and #esgreporting (Environment - Social - Governance), together with the challenges for the Greek-owned shipping.

A Spotlight on the ‘S’ in ESG

Sustainability and ESG are at the forefront of minds and on the top of agendas at the moment. The recent COP26 has served to add urgency to sustainable progress, and countries, governments and companies are under increasing pressure to make significant changes to the way they operate and make decisions. Whilst climate change is perhaps first on the list of priorities, the social pillar is a fundamental part of this paradigm shift.

ESG in Shipping - Roadmap

Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) considerations are here to stay. Whether they are imposed by regulators, lenders or other stakeholders along the supply chain - whether they are clearly defined in (a) comprehensive framework/s or remain vague - ESG criteria have become an integral part of decision making for shipping companies’ counterparties.

Greenwashing, what does it mean?

“Greenwashing is the process of conveying a false impression or providing misleading information about how a company's products are more environmentally sound. Greenwashing is considered an unsubstantiated claim to deceive consumers into believing that a company's products are environmentally friendly.” Investopedia

The ESG Chameleons

A chameleon is defined as “a person who often changes his or her beliefs or behavior in order to please others or to succeed.” (Mirriam Webster) Just like Greenwashing, companies indicate that they have ESG and/or CSR policies in place – but when push comes to shove, they cry over spilt oil.

The History of Sustainable Reporting

Where did the idea of sustainable reporting come from and what exactly is sustainable development? “the capacity of natural resources to support life is limited, and therefore the needs of future generations should always be taken into consideration. Thus, within the framework of the relationship between the economy and the environment, economic development should be sustained by supporting all life on Earth and preserving natural resources.”
