Stena Bulk Signs Global Maritime Forum’s Call To Action For Shipping Decarbonization Ahead Of COP26
Erik Hånell, President and also Chief Executive Officer, Stena Bulk, talk about Stena Bulk ending up being a notary of the Global Maritime Forum’s Call to Action for Shipping Decarbonization in advance of COP26:
“Today, Stena Bulk has actually signed up with various other sector leaders in an around the world contact us to activity for delivery decarbonisation in advance of COP26, where delivery will certainly be consisted of in worldwide environment conversations for the very first time. We think it is important to sign up with various other voices and also reveal that delivery is seriously devoted to decarbonisation. Together, our neighborhood can speak to a united voice in favour of sustainability technology.
“Stena Bulk is honored to regularly press sustainability limits, as this enables us to be in advance of the contour when it involves environment-friendly technical r & d. Global Maritime Forum’s Call to Action is totally lined up with our very own sustainability passions and also purposes, and also is an all-natural effort for us to be associated with.
