📍 Sustainability Theatre
Sustainability has often been dissociated from profitability, limiting its role in maritime & logistics to a ticking-a-box type of actions. However, the growing need to address against climate change and social disparities is placing the spotlight on this topic.As such, the United Nations have developed their Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs), which should change the traditional belief that sustainability and profit are mutually exclusive. Furthermore, more and more investors and decision-makers are looking at ESG metrics as a KPI of significant relevance when assessing potential ROI. The maritime & logistics sector is no strange to this trend, however, the integration sustainability into the overall business strategy across the industry remains a work in progress.This effort, however, requires intersectoral collaboration and the standardization of key sustainability indicators.
