Supply Chain Management Container lines vow to go green
Container companies plan to lower carbon emissions.

A press release by new industry organisation Container Shipping Information Service (CSIS) said its members are aligning their practices to follow the United Nations Environmental Programme’s (UNEP) 12 steps to lowering carbon emissions. UNEP’s slogan for t his year’s event is ‘Kick the Habit! Towards a low carbon economy’ and aims to highlight resources and initiatives that promote low carbon economies and lifestyles.
