AAL Shipping, a prominent project heavy-lift carrier, has become a member of the Maritime Anti-Corruption Network (MACN), a global initiative committed to eradicating corruption in the maritime industry. With over 190 companies worldwide, MACN exemplifies collective action against corruption in shipping.
AAL’s Director, Felix Schoeller, emphasises the company’s dedication to good governance and adherence to the highest Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) standards. Joining MACN aligns with AAL’s commitment to ensuring fair trade and protecting the interests of customers and supply chain partners globally.
Schoeller highlights AAL’s proactive approach in harmonising ethical practices across its operations. AAL actively supports international sanctions adherence and sustainable practices. AAL’s CEO, Cecilia Muller Torbrand, expresses delight in welcoming AAL to MACN, anticipating the company’s active involvement in the network’s initiatives.
AAL’s advocacy extends to environmental responsibility, with the company being the first multipurpose project heavy-lift carrier to implement measures ahead of the January 1st, 2024 launch of the European Union Emission Trading Scheme (EUETS). AAL is poised to contribute actively to MACN’s efforts in raising standards, fighting corruption, and promoting fair-trade principles in the maritime industry.
