BCO eco lobby starts campaign for cleaner, greener ship emissions
BENEFICIAL cargo owners (BCO) AB InBev, AkzoNobel, DSM; FrieslandCampina and Huntsman, have formed an eco lobby called BICEPS to press for cleaner, greener shipping emissions.
"The shippers will apply the BICEPS (Boosting Initiatives for Collaborative Emissions-reduction with the Power of Shippers) rating system in their global procurement of ocean freight, the group said.
The group includes the Budweiser brewer AB InBev, which just laid off three per cent of its work force; Dutch paint manufacturer AkzoNobel, Dutch pharmaceutical conglomerate DSM with plants in China; Dutch diary cooperative FrieslandCampina and Houston chemical maker Huntsman Corporation.
Their five themes are communication and reporting on sustainability; emissions; improvement projects; collaboration projects and long-term ambitions.
