The Port of Seattle is taking a significant step towards environmental sustainability by incorporating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets into future cruise berthing agreements. This proactive approach aims to mitigate the potential environmental impact of the growing cruise industry while supporting a cleaner future for the port and the region.
AIDA Cruises, in partnership with VARO Energy, has successfully conducted the first-ever refueling of its cruise ship, AIDAprima, with 100% renewable Bio Marine Fuel (BMF100) in Rotterdam. The pilot project aims to assess the fuel’s performance during regular operations, marking a significant step towards reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the cruise industry.
Rinchem Company, a global leader in chemical management solutions, has achieved approval for its science-based targets from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). This significant milestone reinforces Rinchem’s commitment to reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in line with the Paris Agreement’s goal of limiting global warming to 1.5°C.
A new study comparing the environmental footprint of an innovative prefilled injection device to traditional glass syringes reveals a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and resource consumption. The study, conducted by researchers at The Brookings Institution and Yale School of Public Health, found that the ApiJect Prefilled Injector reduces emissions by up to 125% compared to single-dose glass vials and significantly outperforms other injection device options.
BD, a global medical technology leader, has exceeded its science-based greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction targets for fiscal year 2023 and received approval for near and long-term targets from the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi). This achievement solidifies BD’s commitment to reaching net zero GHG emissions across its value chain by 2050.

Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company has released its 2023 Corporate Responsibility Report, highlighting its commitment to sustainability and delivering value to stakeholders. The report outlines significant progress made towards achieving short- and long-term sustainability goals, including a 21.9% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, increased use of renewable electricity, and the launch of a sustainable-material tire.
As Europe experiences rising temperatures due to climate change, the use of air conditioning is increasing, creating a vicious heating cycle. While air conditioning provides relief from heat, it also contributes to higher energy consumption, greenhouse gas emissions, and urban heat islands. This article explores the growing reliance on air conditioning in Europe, its environmental impact, and the need for more sustainable solutions.
New Zealand’s centre-right government has repealed a plan to impose a price on greenhouse gas emissions from livestock, a policy that had drawn widespread opposition from farmers. The government plans to remove the agriculture sector from its emissions pricing scheme and establish a new pastoral group to address methane emissions without reducing production. While farmers welcomed the decision, environmental groups condemned it, accusing the government of prioritizing industry interests over climate action.
