As the world order as we know it begins to unravel, how are shipping companies advancing sustainability in an increasingly volatile global context? 

Today’s geopolitical landscape is increasingly unpredictable, with rising conflicts, shifting power dynamics, and growing efforts to undermine the rules‑based order that has long underpinned a well‑functioning global shipping industry. As shipping actors find themselves at the center of this evolving political environment, safeguarding people, society, and the environment has never been more critical.
As the world order as we know it begins to unravel, how are shipping companies advancing sustainability in an increasingly volatile global context?

This event brings together leading actors from the maritime industry and sustainability experts to explore these challenges and highlight concrete solutions that are making a real international impact. Participants will gain insight into how Norwegian shipping companies set high standards for responsible conduct, and how partnerships between shipping actors and civil society can drive best practices across the industry.

An inspiring, action-oriented meeting place for everyone who wants to understand — and help shape — the future direction of the shipping industry.
