Maersk Line to Reduce CO2 Emission per Container by 60%

The world’s largest container shipping company Maersk Line has set itself a bold new target to cut CO2 emissions by 60% by 2020. The company has stated that its emission reduction plan will save the climate around 200,000,000 tons of CO2, roughly the amount of emissions of all passenger cars in France over the period of a year. Chief Commercial Officer Stephen Schueler launched the Maersk Line Sustainability Update Friday 15 May 2015, while speaking to a group of US customers at a session on ‘The Future of Sustainable Supply Chains’ in Newport, US. With the launch of this new CO2 reduction target, Maersk Line is accelerating the effort to reduce its carbon footprint whilst growing the business. The impact of this new target is a sustained decoupling of economic growth from CO2 emissions.
