GreenPort sits down for a Q&A with Jackie Spiteri, managing director, SESG, on sustainable Environmental, Social And Governance (ESG) in the marine sector.

The maritime industry, with its unique operational characteristics and critical role in global trade, faces distinct challenges and opportunities in implementing ESG strategies compared to other sectors.

One of the primary challenges is the complexity of international regulations and the need for global consensus on sustainability standards. Maritime operations span across jurisdictions, making uniformity in ESG compliance more challenging than in sectors that operate within national boundaries.
