Sign Up, Do Good
Freight forwarders and in-house shipping experts can benefit from our not-for-profit carbon calculator, educational platform, and peer-to-peer network to help mitigate global logistics efforts on climate change.
​
Ship Green offers both in-house shippers and agents the ability to track the carbon output of your shipments and offset them against a range of global environmental protection programmes.
​
Logistics is often the broken link in sustainability as much of it is out of the control of the customer. Ship Green is a force of good – a collective of like-minded freight forwarders and shipping specialists to make a positive change in the industry.

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.
No Arms or Conflict Minerals
To not ship firearms, weapons or ammunition.
Avoid Old Transport
Be conscious of older more polluting vessels and vehicles, and choose alternatives.
No Single Use Items
To not ship single-use plastic items unless absolutely necessary, i.e. for health and medical uses.
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 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.
