What we do
Calculator
Work out your carbon footprint - or the footprint of your clients - with our free calculator. We will also give you financial figures and projects to help you offset your shipments.
Network
Ship Green is a network like no other. Join our community of environmentally-minded shippers and agents to share best practices, news, and research.
Campaigns
As a not-for-profit social enterprise, all of the membership income goes towards fighting climate change in a number of campaigns. Read about our projects here.
Education
We will summarise all the latest legislation, news, and views on sustainable shipping in our info hub so you don't have to. Sign up for our newsletter so you don't miss a thing.
Pledges
As a member of Ship Green you will pledge the following:
Slow Down
Choose the slower ocean freight option wherever practical, rather than the quickest services or air freight. Reducing the speed of a cargo ship, “slow steaming,” by 20% can reduce a ship’s emissions by up to 40%, and underwater noise pollution by two-thirds.
Avoid Old Transport
Be conscious of older more polluting vessels and vehicles, and choose alternatives.
No Waste Shipments
To not ship waste around the world to landfill or burning sites. Encourage clients and governments to look for alternative solutions. One country’s waste should not be another country’s problem.
No Arms or Conflict Minerals
To not ship firearms, weapons or ammunition.
No Single Use Items
To not ship single-use plastic items unless absolutely necessary, i.e. for health and medical uses.
No Elaborate Cross Trades
Choose and encourage your clients to use, low-carbon logistics wherever possible, and to not participate in elaborate/unnecessary supply chains around the world.
Anti-Slavery Supply Chains
You must vow to not knowingly be part of any corrupt supply chain where slavery has been used to source, harvest, make or transport a product. Forced labour in global supply chains requires stricter due diligence.
