Supporting sustainability

Richard Turner, of the International Union of Marine Insurance (IUMI), stresses the importance of marine insurers working hard on the sustainability agenda

The International Union of Marine Insurance (IUMI) fully endorses the Call to Action for Shipping Decarbonisation that was announced last month by the Getting to Zero Coalition. The Call to Action unites the voices of more than 150 industry leaders, companies and organisations representing the entire maritime value chain, including shipping, cargo, energy, finance, ports and infrastructure. The collective is calling for decisive government action, public policy development and investment to enable the full decarbonisation of international shipping in line with the Paris Agreement temperature goal.
