The Maritime Sustainability Centre

Our dedicated maritime sustainability and climate change team is providing services including consulting and assurance over sustainability and ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) performance. Our market leading position is built on the quality of insights we bring, our collaborative approach to assurance and the robust, credible services we provide.

In the current stricter regulatory environment, and given the increased interest of the chartering and freight markets for more energy efficient vessels, shipping companies need to act strategically and make informed decisions whilst reducing the energy consumption of their vessels and improving on the carbon footprint of their operations.

Looking ahead, we have set up a dedicated team of marine experts, engineering professionals, policy advisors and colleagues with vast auditing experience, to support shipping companies holistically towards ensuring compliance, maintaining a competitive advantage and creating a sustainable business environment.
