(AI-generated summary) Gijsbert De Jong, Nordic Director for Bureau Veritas, discusses strategies for environmental, social, and governance (ESG) sustainability within shipping. He emphasizes the importance of IMO's Sustainable Development Goals and how they influence the shipping industry's ESG goals and reporting systems.
He talks about the need to measure Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for progress and points out that the diversity of shipping requires tailored solutions rather than a "one-size-fits-all" approach.
He also addresses the challenge of adapting to a complex regulatory landscape and the necessity of consolidation to address technological and operational changes.
This is from the meeting "ESG reporting and new EU regulations for shipping".
During this meeting we will look into ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) reporting for shipping companies and how operational data is becoming more and more important for company wide reporting about fuel consumption and emissions.
