IMPROVED ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE Our second strategy is to influence the carriers that we are cooperating with . Because the air freight has such a significant climate impact , perhaps the challenges within the shipping have not been given so much attention in many companies ’ environmental work . But shipping also has its problems , mainly related to emissions , pollution and garbage from the vessels . The biggest impact from an environmental point of view can be achieved by investments in eco-friendly fuels and vessels with improved fuel- and energy efficiency . New Wave Group is therefore a member of Clean Shipping Index ( CSI ).
Clean Shipping Index was founded in 2007 with the aim to impact the carriers to use cleaner vessels and upgrade their fleet of ships . Through the CSI Database we have direct access to data on emissions and the environmental performance of a high number of ships . In this way , we can help to create market incentives for environmentally improved vessels .
