In today's #WisdomWednesday, this profound quote by Thomas Fuller resonates deeply in the context of #sustainable #shipping. Our planet's oceans and waterways are the lifeblood of global trade; connecting nations and economies. Yet, they are a finite resource and their health is essential for our future. In the shipping industry, we must understand the intrinsic value of water and how it relates to #sustainability. Here's how we can navigate toward a more sustainable future: 🌎 Efficient Vessel Design: Invest in eco-friendly vessel designs, reducing fuel consumption and emissions, while maximising cargo capacity. 🌱 Clean Energy: Embrace alternative fuels and propulsion systems, such as LNG, hydrogen, and wind power, to reduce the industry's environmental impact. 🌊 Ocean Conservation: Promote responsible practices to protect our oceans from pollution, overfishing, and habitat destruction.

At the SRG | SERVE Group, we are aware of our responsibility for our planet. That is why we are investing in environmentally friendly mobility and renewing our fleet with fully electric vehicles. This month we have already received our sixth fully electric vehicle, which helps us to reduce our ecological footprint. Fully electric vehicles are not only emission-free, but also quiet and efficient. We know that all-electric vehicles alone are not enough to tackle the challenges of climate change. That is why we also support other measures to protect and preserve the environment, such as air pollution control, wastewater and waste management, and the protection and remediation of soil and water. We are convinced that the right to a healthy environment is a fundamental human right. We invite you to share our vision and join us on our journey. Together we can make a positive contribution to our future. #serveengineeringsa #zeroemission #elektroantrieb #schaltanlagenbau

We've always been a big fan of TedX talks and this one is a doozy. It raises questions around, "what can I do?" or "who's actually doing what?" in the face of increasing pressures around climate change. Being aware is possibly one of the best ways to make an impact as it informs your decision making and thereby informs the decision making of the community as a whole. Anything that we start doing then has a downstream impact on the types of companies that are discussed in this TedX talk. The right amount of pressure applied in the right way should then lead to emitters reducing their emissions at source. We understand that sustainability and climate change are extremely complex topics that can be impacted by a growing range of inputs and variables as our knowledge in sustainable sectors advances. For example, Direct Air Capture (DAC) as a solution, is a vacuum. Just like a normal vacuum, if you clean on Sunday, you have to clean again in less than a week...that's because we generate more dirt and dust all over again. The same applies with DAC, the issue is how much we emit on the front-end, not how much we can suck up on the back-end. Tie in the rising costs of energy, parts and plant manufacturing, and lifecycle assessments (LCA) and we don't have the best solution really. Instead of vacuuming our carbon waste, why don't we just try to reduce it? The reason we focus on sustainable transport solutions is because they look to remove the emissions at the source, not clean them after the fact. Other sustainable and corporate sectors should be looking to do the same thing. #problemsolving #sustainabletransport #sustainability #sustainabilitygoals

Earth Day 2024: 10 Simple Ways to Reduce Your Carbon Footprint and Save Money! Read https://lnkd.in/gnV5NR8m

Today is United Nations #InternationalDayofCleanEnergy! Transitioning away from fossil fuels is a complex but necessary task for addressing environmental concerns, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and promoting sustainable energy. Do you know that ocean represents a vast and largely untapped source of clean energy? Several technologies are being explored to harness the power of the ocean in a sustainable way. Follow us to learn more about the importance of the ocean and how to protect and restore marine ecosystems. #OneOceanFoundation #OceanLovers #RespectTheOcean #WeAreAllOneOcean #NoPlanetB #NoPlasticInTheOcean #CleanEnergy #SustainableEnergy #UnitedNations

Passion for clean energy is commendable, but let's not forget the most sustainable energy source: the one we don't use. It's time we shift our focus towards energy conservation. To combat climate change and promote sustainability, we must begin by identifying and implementing waste reduction and efficiency measures. Let's power our future with smarter choices! #CleanEnergy #EnergyConservation #Sustainability"

The power of trees meets the strength of Sappi every day in the forests, our mills and our labs. As we cultivate new ways to make renewable wood fiber the material of the future, we ask ourselves: How can the power of trees make our daily lives less dependent on single-use plastics? How can it help heal the planet from the effects of climate change? How can it shape a future that’s more sustainable?

📰 "Ship shortage holds back sector’s role in moving captured carbon" With shipping emissions on the rise, the maritime industry has a critical role to play in the fight against climate change. However, as an enabler of other sectors’ decarbonisation strategies, it also has a role to play in helping the global economy – far beyond just shipping – to decarbonise. 🚢 CO2 carriers that can transport CO2 are one way the maritime industry can aid in the broader global green transition. Our Marine Power President, Roger Holm recently sat down with the Financial Times to discuss the impact that installing carbon capture and storage solutions onboard ships can have on battling climate change and cutting global emissions. He also emphasised that the development of carbon capture is still in its early phase and that more collaboration and development around such technology is required for more ships and ports to be able to facilitate the transport of captured CO2. 👉 Read the full article from the Financial Times here: https://lnkd.in/d-X2dKDi #Decarbonisation #CarbonCapture #ZeroCarbon #Emissions #Maritime

As climate and ocean health are inexorably connected, we must advocate for halting fossil fuels, including plastics, growing renewable energy, and a sustainable culture, while we do our best to mitigate heat and carbon, by restoring and rewilding wetlands. #WetTribe #TidetotheOcean #ClimateChange #RenewableEnergy #Sustainability #BlueCarbon #Restoration #Mitigation
