IMPROVED ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE
Our second strategy is to influence the transportation providers
that we are cooperating with. Because the freight has such a
significant climate impact, perhaps the challenges within the
shipping have not been given so much space in many companies’
environmental work. But shipping also has its problems, mainly
related to emissions, pollution and garbage from the vessels.
The biggest impact from an environmental point of view can be
achieved by investments in eco-friendly fuels and vessels with
improved fuel- and energy efficiency.
New Wave Group is therefore a member of Clean Shipping
Index (CSI). Clean Shipping Index was founded in 2007 and
aim to impact the freight companies to use cleaner vessels and
upgrade their fleet of ships. Through the CSI Database we have
direct access to data on emissions and the environmental perfor-
mance of a high number of ships. In this way, we can help to
create market incentives for environmentally improved vessels.
The future of global trade will depend on clean transportation
to address the climate challenge.
Clean Shipping Index is an
initiative aiming to impact the freight
companies to use cleaner vessels and
upgrade their fleet of ships.
CO 2 , carbon dioxide, contributes
to a global warming and climate
change. SO x are sulfur oxides and
NO x are nitrogen oxides that are
harmful to the human respiratory
system and causes overfertilization.
