Louis Dreyfus Company (LDC) didn’t want to wait for other industry stakeholders to commit to sustainable shipping. Dana Camps spoke with Fabian Kowatsch, Shipping Decarbonisation Specialist at LDC, to find out more about how the agribusiness giant took the lead in embracing renewable, cost-effective and compliant wind power with bound4blue’s eSAILs®.
Reducing environmental impact
“We knew that we had to be proactive in our approach to reducing environmental impact… that we couldn’t just sit on the sidelines and hope that shipowners would solve the emissions problem by themselves,” said Fabian Kowatsch, part of LDC’s dedicated shipping decarbonisation team, during an industry webinar organized by bound4blue this summer.
Vital roles to play.
He continued: “The journey to decarbonisation demands that everyone get on board. All stakeholders in the shipping chain – from regulators, shipowners, cargo-owners, technology suppliers and logistics firms, right through to end consumers – have vital roles to play. Sustainability cannot be achieved in isolation, by any single player or standalone segment in the chain. We’re all connected and rely on one another’s climate commitments.”
LDC, it is evident, is eager to seize that sense of responsibility and run with it.
