Carnival Corp. seals sustainability agreement with NGO Bellona Foundation

Thursday, 19 Jun, 2018 0

Carnival Corp has sealed a cooperation agreement with The Bellona Foundation to improve the group’s environmental and sustainability efforts.

The newly formed partnership will see the two parties adopt a joint framework based on the International Maritime Organization (IMO) strategy to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.

That includes an eventual goal of zero emissions in port.

The Bellona Foundation is an international environmental NGO which sees the maritime sector as a core focus for its work.

"Bellona is committed to meet and fight the climate challenges. Our cooperation with Carnival Corporation will enable us to increase our impact in developing and promoting sustainable solutions for the rapidly growing cruise sector," said Frederic Hauge, founder of The Bellona Foundation.

According to a release, they both share a similar vision and will work together toward an even more sustainable cruise industry ‘in a future zero emission society.’

"We are deeply committed to protecting the environment, and that includes the oceans and seas in which our vessels sail and the communities in which we operate. Working together with leading environmental NGOs such as The Bellona Foundation will help us to achieve our vision," said Michael Thamm, Group CEO, Costa Group & Carnival Asia for Carnival Corp.
