BCG and Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping co-develop publicly
Boston Consulting Group (BCG) and the Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping launch the ESG Playbook for Shipping on February 8, 2023. The Playbook combines BCG’s globally recognized expertise in consulting services with the Center for Zero Carbon Shipping’s industry leading research capabilities in maritime decarbonization to empower shipping companies with the tools to navigate the ESG landscape and develop future-proof ESG strategies. The guide covers concrete recommendations on how to identify focus areas that generate value, set targets, implement best practice initiatives, and ensure organizational readiness. Speaking on the launch of the Playbook, Bo Cerup-Simonsen, Chief Executive Officer at Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping, said: “We have co-developed this playbook with BCG to provide guidance and support to ship owners across segments on creating focused, actionable, and ambitious ESG strategies. ESG compliance can drive commitment and action towards decarbonization and help shipping companies meet the rising request from customers and investors to deliver on environmental, social and governmental practices. Acting sustainably is increasingly becoming a license to operate and we hope that by providing this guidance, we can make it easier for more shipping companies to develop and act on solid ESG strategies. Stronger commitment will also provide the transparency across the industry we need to track progress towards a more sustainable maritime sector.”
