As we commemorate World Water Day, we reflect on the critical role that water plays in our lives and ecosystems. At MOL Logistics, we are committed to preserving our oceans while providing top-notch logistics solutions worldwide.
The impact of Ocean Freight
Did you know that ocean freight accounts for over 90% of global trade? While vital for international commerce, it also presents unique challenges to our marine environments. From plastic pollution to carbon emissions, the impact of traditional shipping methods on our oceans cannot be ignored.
Addressing Global Challenges: Our Dedication to Water Conservation
On World Water Day, we recognize the critical importance of water conservation and sustainable practices. Water scarcity and pollution pose significant challenges globally, affecting ecosystems, communities, and economies. As a multinational logistics company, we understand the importance of water in our operations and are dedicated to mitigating our impact on this vital resource.
A Vision for Environmental Leadership: “MOL Group Environmental Vision 2.2 in Action
Through our innovative program, MOL Group Environmental Vision 2.2, we are aligning our efforts with our Environmental Vision 2.1 to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and promote sustainability across our operations, including ocean freight. By deploying net zero emissions ocean-going vessels by the 2020s and reducing GHG emissions intensity by 45% by 2035, we are not only addressing climate change but also indirectly contributing to water conservation.
How do our actions tie into water-related issues?
Let’s explore:
- Adopting clean energy: Transitioning to clean energy sources reduces reliance on water-intensive processes like fossil fuel extraction and power generation, thus conserving water resources.
- Adopting energy-saving technologies: Implementing energy-efficient technologies minimises water consumption associated with power generation and industrial processes, preserving water for other essential needs.
- Efficient operations: Optimizing logistics and supply chain operations reduces fuel consumption and emissions, indirectly lessening the water footprint associated with energy production and transportation.
- Building business models for net zero emissions: By prioritizing sustainability and carbon neutrality, we contribute to mitigating climate change, which in turn helps address water-related challenges such as droughts and disruptions in water availability.
- Expanding low-carbon/decarbonised business: Leveraging our collective strengths to expand low-carbon business models not only reduces GHG emissions but also promotes sustainable practices that indirectly benefit water resources.
