Sustainable Shipping
By Roland Berger

How digital solutions can reduce CO2 emissions and generate cost savings in the shipping industry. Emissions of the global shipping industry have fallen by 14% since 2008, but the rate of reduction has slowed considerably in recent years and today the industry accounts for 2.4% of global CO2 emissions; equivalent to the carbon sequestered by around 1.2 billion acres of forest in a year. Digital solutions stand as one viable tool to greatly reduce these emissions further and also generate significant cost savings for shipping operators and other participants in the shipping value chain.
