HONG KONG: OOCL was very honored to receive the “Excellence in
Environmental Management” award at the 2019 Lloyd's List Europe Awards
ceremony in London on December 10, 2019. Formerly known as the Lloyd’s
List Global Awards, this awards program is one of the most anticipated
events in the industry, recognizing excellence across the maritime
sector.
The “Excellence in Environmental Management” award pays tribute to a
company which has made significant contributions to minimizing marine
environment pollution. The assessment covers
several areas such as environmental friendly ship designs and
operation, reductions in fossil fuel use, and the green impact from
corporate sustainability policies.
OOCL believes all businesses should be responsible for their effects on
the environment. In our sustainable economic development agenda over
the years, we have adopted many effective environmental initiatives
ranging from stakeholder engagements with environment-focused
organizations, green investments on our vessels, to the development of
related digital technologies to better manage fuel consumption and
thereby reduce unnecessary emissions.
Receiving the award on behalf of OOCL, Mr. Derek O’Galligan, Managing
Director of OOCL – UK Branch said: “OOCL is very pleased to be
acknowledged for our commitment and performance in environmental
excellence. This award is undeniably a huge encouragement for us to
continue taking a proactive and responsible role in our environmental
agenda and strive for a more sustainable future. It is an important
milestone reflecting our efforts in building a sound sustainability
profile in the industry.
Moving forward, OOCL will continue to work closely with our business
partners and stakeholders to embrace our long-term sustainability
goals.”
Over the years, OOCL has consistently outperformed many international
requirements and industry standards by implementing many important green
initiatives and constantly preparing ourselves to face the ever
increasingly stringent environmental regulations and challenges of the
future. As a responsible and committed member of the international
community, OOCL will advance for further improvements in all aspects of
our business for a greener future in the generations to come.
