The certification process
To receive their certification, participants must assess their environmental performance annually, submit to an external verification, agree to publish their individual results, and commit to a process of continual improvement.
A collaborative approach
Regional and multisectoral involvement is at the heart of Green Marine. Environmental issues are identified and addressed in collaboration with industry, governments, academia and environmental groups. This approach permits informed decisions to be made based on consensus.
A global scope
The new Green Marine International entity has been incorporated in May 2024 to reflect the environmental certification program’s increasing global reach while consolidating its governance. It unites Green Marine and Green Marine Europe environmental certification programs under a single organization under a consistent, strong, and widely recognized brand.
