A Tiered Approach Toward Sustainability Commitments

As sustainability expectations continue to rise across the maritime industry, suppliers are increasingly expected to demonstrate transparency, credibility and measurable progress. The ABS Eco Program provides a structured framework to help organizations communicate sustainability commitments, validate performance and advance continuous improvement.

Sustainability Performance Matters

Organizations that can demonstrate structured commitments and verified sustainability data are better positioned to respond to these expectations and differentiate themselves in a competitive market.

The program encourages continuous improvement in:

Operational efficiency

Emissions management

Responsible business practices

Data transparency

Joining the program provides your company with the option to seek structured training and tools to build competence and bridge potential gaps in your sustainability journey.

How Your Journey Looks

Attainment at each level is recognized with an ABS-issued seal and statement. The program is structured in three distinct grading levels to provide a definitive assessment of your proficiency at each stage.

Level 1: Organizational Commitments

Start out by focusing on foundational commitments and declarations at the organizational level, providing an entry point for companies that want to establish a formal starting point for sustainability recognition.

Level 2: Verified Commitments

Adding verification of organizational commitments along with product-level sustainability declarations helps you strengthen the credibility of your sustainability efforts and expand the scope of what you can communicate.

Level 3: Deep-Dive Verification

The most advanced stage of participation, including deeper verification of product- or service-level sustainability data. This level is intended for organizations prepared to demonstrate robust evidence.
