CARNIVAL Corporation CEO Josh Weinstein overnight released the company’s 2022 Sustainability Report, highlighting progress across the organisation towards its environmental, social and governance (ESG) goals.
Weinstein, who was also last year designated as Carnival’s Chief Climate Officer, noted the massive achievements of the 2022 cruise restart, which was accomplished “while continuing to honour our values and commitments to sustainable performance from ship to shore”.
He highlighted Carnival’s commitment to decarbonisation, with the strategy including ongoing deliveries of LNG powered ships, with four more expected for delivery by 2025.
In addition, “we continue working aggressively toward our carbon reduction golas and ambitions through innovative decarbonisation projects, including rolling out fleetwide technology upgrades to save energy and fuel, investing in key port and destination projects, focusing on itinerary efficiencies across the portfolio, and successfully piloting biofuels while realising the benefit of our fleet optimisation measures,” Weinstein said.
Overall Carnival Corporation expects to drive a 15% reduction in fuel consumption per available lower berth day (ALBD) in 2023, along with a 15% reduction in carbon emissions.
Other successes in 2022 saw the surpassing of a 30% goal in reduction of food waste per person, and the establishment of a 40% reduction target by 2025.
On the social front Carnival continues to work closely with in-destination partners, including last year’s start of construction on a new port on Grand Bahama Island which will provide new local jobs, business opportunities and guest experiences.
Carnival also supported Ukraine humanitarian relief efforts with financial contributions, brand specific projects and direct support for Ukrainian crew members and their families.
