The Clean Ships standard exists to provide UK consumers certainty that goods have been shipped in an environmentally sustainable way.One of the least understood aspects of the global economy is how our goods, food and products arrive on the door step and in store as if by magic. If you scratch under the surface, however, you quickly discover that this is one of the most environmentally polluting industries, with 2% of global CO2, 15% of nitrogen oxides and 13% of Sulphur dioxide emissions down to cargo shipping. Clean Ships is a vital tool in efforts to reduce the global impact of essential cargo shipping. Through making consumers aware of the impact of their purchase choices, businesses can capitalize on the 1/3 of the UK population who will actively choose an environmentally sound product over one with lesser credentials.
