Energy Management in the Maritime Industry

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Corporate Social Responsibility in the Maritime Industry

Part of the book series: WMU Studies in Maritime Affairs ((WMUSTUD,volume 5))

Abstract

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and energy management are highly interrelated with each other. Energy management serves and contributes to the targets set by a CSR policy of a shipping company or a port authority. Managers of some of these organizations have responsibilities for the effective implementation of energy efficient measures both in ship operations and in port activities under the fulfilment of their CSR (Kitada and Ölçer 2015).

Notes

  1. 1.

    Planetary Boundaries is the central concept in an Earth system framework proposed in 2009 by a group of environmental scientists led by Johan Rockström from the Stockholm Resilience Centre and Will Steffan from the Australian National University. The concept seeks to define a so-called safe operating space for humanity in relation to the consumption of Earth’s resources as a precondition for sustainable stewardship.
