31 May 2023

SDG 13 – Support the maritime industry to limit the impacts of climate change We respond to our Members’ and clients’ changing operations and needs by developing products and services that enable them to thrive in the transition to a more sustainable maritime sector. [...] SDG 14 – Prevent and minimize the impact of marine pollution We handle marine accidents and pollution efficiently, fairly, and responsibly, and continue to work with responsible authorities to prepare for such eventualities. [...] The strategic partnerships and coalitions include: ▪ International Group of P&I Clubs (IG) – we were part of the discussions that led to the establishment of a sustainability working group in 2019 and the creation of four work streams in 2020, using the UN SDG framework to better understand how P&I can both enhance its positive impact and reduce its negative impacts on society. [...] In the same manner, we work to ensure that disposal of removed wrecks are done in compliance with the Hong Kong Convention and EU regulatory standards and ensure that salvage and wreck removal operations are conducted with minimal adverse effects on the environment. [...] We communicate the challenges and the lessons learned associated with plastic nurdle spills that occurred in 2020 through podcasts and articles on our website to raise awareness and to share information on plastic nurdle spills.
