The group is in active dialogue with additional, major global carriers, as well as feeder lines, that are increasingly seeing the business value of collaborating in Clean Cargo.
“The growth curve in membership continues to increase,” says Angie Farrag, Associate Director of Transportation and Logistics at BSR, Clean Cargo’s Secretariat. “This is particularly due to companies such as Electrolux leading the way forward with their recent declaration to only ship with carriers that report environmental performance using the Clean Cargo methodology, starting in 2014.”
Gorm Kjaerboll, global ocean contracting manager for the Electrolux Group, said that top management continues to recognize the value of this coalition.
“Once you get management to buy in, we can all profit by measuring and expanding our green initiatives,” he said.
