BW LPG collaborates with Achilles to enhance sustainability and ESG compliance across its global supply chain.
Achilles has announced a strategic partnership with BW LPG, a prominent owner and operator of very large gas carriers (VLGCs) within the BW Group. This collaboration underscores BW LPG’s commitment to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles and responsible business practices.
Rick Ackermann, Head of Procurement at BW LPG, highlighted the partnership’s significance: “Partnering with Achilles aligns perfectly with our new supplier code of ethics and plastic reduction programs. Achilles’ expertise in validating and managing suppliers to high ESG standards is invaluable. This collaboration will transform our supply chain, making it a model of sustainability and resilience.”
Paul Stanley, CEO of Achilles, expressed support for BW LPG’s ESG journey: “We are delighted to support BW LPG in its sustainability efforts. Our platform provides the tools and insights needed for regulatory compliance and meaningful change. This partnership shows how industry leaders can use data-driven solutions for a sustainable future.”
The partnership comes as the maritime industry faces increasing disclosure requirements from regulations like the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). Achilles’ platform will help BW LPG navigate ESG compliance, leveraging risk assessment, supplier engagement, and data-driven insights to align with international standards.
The collaboration sets a new benchmark for sustainability and responsible supply chain management in the global maritime industry, combining BW LPG’s leadership with Achilles’ expertise.
