Carnival Corp outlines 2030 sustainability goals
Carnival Corp announced its initial set of 2030 sustainability goals, as part of the company’s ongoing sustainability efforts throughout its global operations.
Following its 2020 sustainability goals, Carnival Corporation has established new set of targets for 2030 and aspirations for 2050.
It covers six key focus areas that align with some of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals.
It includes climate action, waste reduction, sustainable tourism; health and well-being; diversity, equity and inclusion and biodiversity and conservation.
Carnival Corp hopes to achieve a 40% reduction in carbon rate per available lower berth day by 2030, relative to a 2008 baseline.
It plans to expand its alternative fuels strategy across its liquefied natural gas (LNG) program and battery, fuel cell and biofuel capabilities.
It also aspires to build zero emissions ships by 2050 and achieve net carbon neutral operations at the same time.
"The 2030 goals and our aspirations for 2050 are an important next step in our sustainability journey and support our efforts to establish a path to zero emission cruising over time," said Arnold Donald, CEO of Carnival Corporation.
It will detail additional 2030 sustainability goals and 2050 aspirations covering all six of its focus areas in its 2020 Sustainability Report to be issued later this summer.
