In May 2025, the University of Malta hosted the Maritime
Platform Conference, a pivotal gathering of academics and industry
professionals focused on innovation in marine and maritime
sustainable developments.
During this event, Ms Decelis had the privilege of sharing
insights on the drive towards ESG (Environmental, Social, and
Governance) in the maritime space, exploring both challenges and
opportunities. This article aims to share insights from this talk,
underscoring ESG not only as a response to pressing global issues
but as a strategic avenue for value creation and improved risk
management in the maritime industry.
Despite the current geopolitical climate, sustainability
continues to be increasingly relevant. For instance, in the US, all
the top 100 companies undertook sustainability disclosures in 2024
(KPMG, 2024).
