Core values

- **Decarbonization Efforts**: The WSC's proposals, such as the Green Balance Mechanism, aim to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote the use of alternative fuels, which are crucial for addressing climate change and environmental sustainability[1][2][4].
- **Global Cooperation**: The WSC fosters international cooperation among shipping lines, governments, and other stakeholders to achieve common goals, such as net-zero emissions by 2050, which is essential for global environmental health[1][2][4].
- **Safety and Regulatory Compliance**: The WSC's work on safety measures, such as the Cargo Integrity Group's efforts to improve the safe transport of dangerous goods, enhances supply chain safety and reduces risks to seafarers and coastal communities[2].
- **Community Impact**: The initiatives also consider the social and cultural impacts on coastal communities, including Indigenous Peoples, by promoting collaborative approaches to mitigate environmental and social effects of marine shipping[5].
