Cargill joined forces with the Global Maritime Forum, the Maritime Anti-Corruption Network, the North American Environment Protection Association and the Women’s International Shipping and Trading Association in an effort to establish safer, more efficient transport shipping, along with lower emissions, according to a company press release.
The company aims to use its breadth of influence within the agriculture, food and nutrition sectors to help reach the United Nations Global Compact’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Among the goals to be achieved are: sustainable change; greater protection of the marine environment; a corruption-free maritime industry, as well as providing greater access to women within the maritime industry industry through increased global and regional networking, conferences, and business and skill building coaching opportunities.
