Key 2022 findings

  • For the second consecutive year, decarbonisation of shipping and new environmental regulations were the top two issues in terms of impact in the coming decade. They were also in the top five for likelihood. Respondents had a more favourable view of the industry’s preparedness for these challenges.
  • Failure of climate change mitigation and adaptation stayed at number three on the list of issues for which the industry is least prepared.
  • Increase in fuel price and geopolitical tension, which had been in the number seven and six spots in 2021, are now ranked as the two most likely issues to occur in the next 10 years. New environmental regulations and decarbonisation of shipping dropped from the number one and two spots in 2021 to third and fifth, respectively.

The report also takes a deep dive into human sustainability, defined as dignity and respect for every human being within an organisation and across supply chains to ensure human well-being and ethical practices. The growing importance of the issue is bringing about a shift in leadership focus, away from managing ships toward managing people.
