Together with sea-going ship operators, inland navigation operators, ports, governments, suppliers and service providers, Green Award is successfully committed for almost 30 years to the recognition and stimulation of sustainable and safe shipping. 

Green Award does this on a non-profit basis with a challenging programme of requirements, combined with a system of inspiration, audit/inspection, certification, and reward. Meanwhile, there are over 185 parties that give ships with a Green Award certificate a (financial) advantage. Green Award started in 1994 with a programme for sea-going vessels, in 2011 a programme for inland shipping was launched. 

The programme is consistent to 13 UN SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals) and is supporting the ESG policies (Environmental, Social and Governance) on around 60 shipping related topics for organisations across the globe.
