MAERSK LINE : UK & IRELAND

SUPPLY CHAIN

Sustainability Another example of helping customers to understand the impact of shipping on their business is Maersk Line ’ s efforts at being more sustainable . Container shipping , despite its significant impact on the environment , is also one of the more environmentally efficient methods of transportation , due to its economies of scale . One example can be the carbon footprint statistics in shipping . Aberdeen Angus beef sold in London can have a higher carbon footprint that that of Argentinian beef being shipped across . It ’ s a surprising fact , and many statistics like this are not displayed in the public forum . As such , these sustainability factors currently does not influence the customer ’ s purchasing decisions , but Godsafe believes it will do in the future .

The charter has been evolving through ongoing evaluation and feedback from stakeholders www . maerskline . com 51
