Hello Shipping Podcast lovers, the show is available on all podcast platforms. This is where we talk about the coolest industry on the planet and help raise the maritime industry's profile.  

The shipping industry is the backbone of international trade, contributing to globalisation and development, yet we are the invisible industry. The people within the industry make the world go around; they are maritime professionals – strong characters with an interesting background. I meet them, and we talk about the future of the shipping industry and what's happening right now.

In cyberspace since 2015.

What about the S and the G in ESG? 

In episode 191, you meet Catherine Smith, General Counsel & Company Secretary at Wah Kwong Maritime Transport Holdings Limited in Hongkong. We have a candid conversation about Environmental Social and Governance, which refers to the three key factors when measuring a business or company's sustainability and ethical impact.

Catherine is calling for more ESG startups since there are so many things we need to do to fulfil the challenges we are facing. 

I asked Catherine why the interest in ESG reports has grown so much; she thinks it's because so many more stakeholders are reading them now. There is no way to hide.

You do not want to miss out on listening to all the wisdom Catherine shares! Download and listen and discuss these issues with a friend or a peer. They are also welcome to listen to the Shipping Podcast, of course.
