Overview
Shipping operations that maintain a healthy environment are of benefit to the greater human good and the shipping industry as a whole, particularly as awareness grows with respect to climate change and the need for ‘green credentials’. Changing global trends coupled with increasing scrutiny on climate change and environmental issues from stakeholders is impacting the way shipping is currently being operated. In view of this and our own commitment to the environment, operating in a responsible manner and minimising impact on the environment where possible, is key to the way business is managed at MISC.

Approach
In deriving our Environment Strategy, the areas that have been identified as material to us in terms of managing our impact include climate change and emissions to air, waste management and biodiversity. As there are several core businesses within the Group, some of these areas may be more material than others. In this respect, the approach taken by the Group, is for each entity to be responsible for managing impact from their businesses in line with Group policies as well as with direction and governance from Group level. Environmental performance is captured and reported through various channels including the MISC Group HSSE Council and internal HSSE review meetings.
