A Simple Guide to Understand ISO 14001 in Shipping
This story is about a nice guy called Jack.
Jack always understood his responsibilities towards the environment. He preferred bicycle over a car for small distance travel. He would get irritated if he saw someone print something that was unnecessary.
He was absolute environment-friendly in every sense.
Jack now owns a ship management company and he got a chance to showcase his services to a prestigious ship owner.
At the end of his presentation about his company, Jack thought to himself; "Well done boy".
But jack was awestruck when the ship owners said; Sorry Jack, but we only work with companies that care for the environment.
No one care for the environment better than me and my company sir; replied Jack with confidence.
