Green Freight price, sustainability, and transparency in the logistics chain
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: This paper aims to analyze the decarbonization requirements imposed by international instruments such as MARPOL and the UN 2030 Agenda on shipowners' operations, as well as the operational pathways established by carbon credits and green freight. Furthermore, it aims to highlight the importance of the right to information in the logistical-environmental sphere, in order to warn of the risks related to greenwashing and the lack of transparency in the advertising of sustainable services. Method: The research was exploratory in nature and based on a narrative review of indirect documentation. Results: International instruments show concrete international commitments to decarbonization. Mechanisms designed to measure reduction or offset gas emissions are advanced. Green freight is present and relevant for some shipowners, but control over the transparency of related data still seems incipient. Final considerations: It is essential to establish control mechanisms for green freight so that information is more transparent and does not result in the unfair practice of greenwashing.
