The first step towards a standardised framework for the maritime industry

The IMEF Initiative is a pioneering effort to establish a unified standard for calculating and reporting emissions in the maritime industry. With the backing of leading companies and experts, this initiative focuses on a robust activity-based approach to measure Scope 3 emissions, which are often the hardest to quantify but make up a large portion of a company’s overall carbon footprint. The IMEF Initiative provides a clear guidance paper on how maritime stakeholders can calculate the Product Carbon Footprint of their components and equipment, helping companies make more informed, sustainable decisions.

The IMEF Goals

• Establish a baseline for Scope 3 emissions measurement across the maritime industry.
• Facilitate the integration of carbon footprint data as a key parameter in supplier and product selection.
 • Support companies in preparing for increasing regulatory requirements related to environmental impact.

Why Support the IMEF Initiative

• Align with a robust sustainability standard that is gaining widespread industry support.
• Take an active role in shaping the future of environmental stewardship in maritime.
• Ensure your business is prepared for future regulatory requirements on emissions reporting.
