Collaborative approach
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.
Steering Committee
The Green Marine Europe Steering Committee serves as an advisory body to management and a forum for information sharing and dialogue among the program’s European stakeholders. It makes recommendations on program development, funding and visibility, contributes to annual business and strategic planning, and proposes strategies for member engagement and growth. It also recommends European candidates for election to the Green Marine International Board of Directors. The Steering Committee comprises a maximum of 15 members:

Advisory Committees
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!
The composition of the two advisory committees - one for shipowners and the other for land-based participants - is currently being updated for the former and established for the latter. Details will be shared soon.

The environmental certification program’s success is largely based on its ability to identify and address key issues related to sustainable maritime transportation.
