Clean Cargo is a business-to-business leadership initiative founded in 2004 by

BSR. BSR's global membership network includes over 80 members across the

shipping industry, all committed to reducing the environmental impact of global

freight transportation and promoting responsible shipping.

Committed, innovative and visionary, Clean Cargo members have successfully

reduced CO2 emissions per container carried by 9.6 percent between 2015 and

2018, and by 5.6 percent between 2018 and 2019.

"We are looking forward to working with Moet Hennessy in our collaborative

effort to decarbonize maritime transport. Together, we can send strong market

signals which demonstrate the strategic value of sustainability within freight

operations," says Sarah Mouriño, BSR's Director of Transport and Green Freight.

For the past five years, maritime transport at Moet Hennessy has accounted for

85% to 90% of its shipments and nearly a third of its total CO2 emissions

(around 10% for road transportation and <1% for air transport). Although sea

freight remains the mode of transport with the least environmental impact, it

still contributes to global warming, as well as air and water pollution. Moet

Hennessy and the Clean Cargo Working Group are actively committed to minimizing

pollution, maximizing energy efficiency and protecting marine biodiversity.

"We are fortunate to export our products all over the world and have always

made it a priority to do so in the most environmentally sound way possible. The

fine-tuning of our supply chain has enabled us to have 87% of our shipments by

sea freight as of 2020. The partnership with Clean Cargo demonstrates our

commitment to further improve our shipping practices for more sustainable

transport solutions." Alain Doudard, Supply Chain Director, Moet Hennessy.

In addition to serving as a forum for discussion between members, Clean Cargo

offers companies the opportunity to discover the latest innovations and best

practices in maritime transport. State-of-the-art measurement tools are also

available to monitor and control the environmental impact of sea freight.

"Thanks to the work of our teams over many years to promote maritime transport,

we have kept CO2 emissions from the transport of our products under control.

With this partnership, we will be able to better measure these CO2 emissions

from one port to another and find solutions to further reduce our overall

carbon footprint." Sandrine Sommer, Chief Sustainability Officer, Moet Hennessy.

Through this new partnership, Moet Hennessy continues its commitment to the

Living Soils Living Together program, in particular by taking further action

for more sustainable transport.
