BSR's Clean Cargo Working Group, which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year, has developed industry-leading calculation and reporting methodologies for carriers to report environmental performance data to their customers in a credible, standardized format. Clean Cargo's 2013 progress report highlights how the group has improved the measurement, evaluation, and reporting of environmental performance data for global shipping customers and ocean transport providers. It includes data from 16 of the world's leading ocean carriers and more than 2,300 ships, representing more than 60 percent of global ocean container capacity. The report also provides year-on-year carbon-emissions metrics, which can be used to benchmark and improve the environmental performance in global transport supply chains.
