Discover Green Marine Europe's collaborative approach.
Green Marine Europe’s uniqueness lies in its collaborative approach! The environmental certification program is developed and revised in collaboration with representatives from the industry, governments, research institutions and environmental organizations.
Green Marine Europe counts one steering committee and two advisory committees representing the ship owners and the landside participants. The program also brings together multi-stakeholder working groups, including sector experts, as required to address specific emerging issues, revise the program’s criteria or develop a new performance indicator.
The steering committee is the forerunner of Green Marine Europe’s board of directors. It is in charge of the program’s strategic orientations within Europe. It currently has ten voting members representing participants, Green Marine Europe, Green Marine International, and public institutions:
Responsible for environment, safety, security and ports, Armateurs de France
CSR Director, Bourbon Offshore Surf
Head of R&D, Energy, Environment, Brittany Ferries
Sustainability Manager, CMA CGM
Project Manager, Corsica Linea
Head of unit - Ecological transition of shipping, DG of Maritime Affairs, Fisheries and Aquaculture

Participation has been at the heart of the Green Marine Europe program since its inception. Green Marine Europe's advisory committees guide the program's review and development priorities by highlighting environmental issues of particular concern. Before adopting a change to the program, Green Marine Europe calls upon each committee to provide its point of view based on its realities so that a new program criterion takes all participants into consideration. These advisory committees are a big part of Green Marine Europe’s collaborative success!
