The Sustainable Shipping Initiative (SSI) brings together some of the biggest names in the maritime sector to plan how it can contribute to – and thrive in – a sustainable future. The SSI is an initiative designed to help the industry make long-term plans for future success. Its members are leading companies from around the world and NGOs Forum for the Future and WWF. The cross-industry group represents ship owners and charterers, shipbuilders, engineers and service providers, banking, insurance, and classification societies. In the first stage members launched a Case for Action. It analyses the social, environmental and economic challenges shipping faces and how best to react to them, and it calls on the industry to take far-reaching action. We then launched our Vision 2040 statement – a shared vision of an industry in 2040 which is resilient, socially and environmentally responsible and profitable. We've started work on our second set of practical work streams, through which we will begin to make Vision 2040 a reality.
