“We share the ambition to become a positive-energy port. By joining the Getting to Zero Coalition, we intend to actively contribute to the development of ever-cleaner service for our customers and stakeholders of the supply chain”, says Baptiste Maurand, Managing Director HAROPA – Port of Le Havre.
October 22, 2020: The “Getting to Zero Coalition” was launched at the United Nations Climate Action Summit 2019 as part of a partnership between three intergovernmental organisations (the Global Maritime Forum, Friends of Ocean Action and the World Economic Forum) to combat climate change. It aims to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from shipping by at least 50% by 2050*. To reach this goal and to make the transition to full decarbonisation possible, the members of this coalition are committed to help developing zero-emission ships and fuels by 2030.
HAROPA – Port of Le Havre is now one of the coalition members alongside more than 90 companies from across maritime, energy and finance sectors.
This membership marks another step in the port’s commitment to help its customers reduce their own emissions. Moreover, it underlines the determination of HAROPA – Ports to reduce the carbon footprint of the maritime industry.
