OOCL achieves dual reporting standards for environmental data integrity
OOCL is dedicated to environmental protection and committed to data integrity standards. Each year, OOCL ensures that such standards are consistent and upheld by certifying our environmental data through independent business assurance service providers. Accredited by Lloyd’s Register (LR), we are pleased to announce that OOCL has once again achieved dual reporting standards through the use of Clean Cargo Working Group (CCWG) and ISO 14064-1:2006 verification tools, the company said in its press release.
This initiative ensures that OOCL’s data disclosure on vessel emissions in 2014 is transparent, accurate, complete, consistent and relevant after checking for not only the carbon dioxide, sulphur oxides and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Scope 1 emission levels of OOCL vessels, but also extending to the GHG Scope 2 level which is associated with electricity consumption of OOCL’s head office in Hong Kong.
OOCL recieved dual verification achievement from its GHG reporting against the ISO 14064-1:2006 standard, which specifies principles and requirements at the organization level for quantification and reporting of GHG emissions and removals. It includes requirements for the design, development, management, reporting and verification of an organization's GHG inventory.
In the verification process, OOCL prepared all the proper documentation and records showing the effective management over data integrity. Not a single discrepancy, misstatement and nonconformity was identified between the emission data collected in the samples from the randomly selected vessels by LR and the data submitted by OOCL for the year 2014.
This is the fourth consecutive year that OOCL completed the verification by using the CCWG standard and the second year adopting the duel standards. Moving forward, OOCL aims to enhance its sustainability profile and foster continuous improvement in the environmental and social performance aspects of freight transport by sharing information and promoting industry best practices to a wider audience of stakeholders that appreciates greater transparency and greener supply chains.
