Collaborating for Clarity: Procurement & Sustainability in Maritime Supply Chains
As supply chain regulations tighten and decarbonisation goals accelerate, maritime procurement and sustainability leaders face growing pressure to improve data visibility, meet ESG obligations and reduce risk while still operating efficiently.
The Achilles Maritime Network Roundtable offers a unique opportunity to connect with fellow leaders and shape a shared approach to supplier qualification, risk management and compliance.
Timed to coincide with IMPA London 2025, this exclusive in-person event will convene key voices from across the industry, including founding members of the Achilles Maritime Network.
What We’ll Discuss
This closed-door roundtable will focus on:
- Reducing duplication in supplier onboarding and ESG due diligence
- Standardising assessments to meet the demands of evolving regulation (e.g. CSRD, CII, IMO DCS)
- Improving access to Scope 3 data to support decarbonisation targets
- Enhancing supplier performance and audit readiness through shared insights
- Building a more resilient, transparent and collaborative marine supply chain
Why It Matters
Recent research and working group sessions have shown:
- Maritime firms are duplicating ESG and supplier compliance work at scale
- There is no standard way to assess suppliers, making benchmarking difficult
- Manual, fragmented onboarding processes limit insight, slow decision-making, and increase cost
- Over 35% of suppliers are used by multiple shipping companies in the network – a clear case for consolidation and cooperation
The Achilles Maritime Network is solving this by creating a platform that enables participating shipping companies to share non-competitive, non-sensitive data and eliminate inefficiencies through a single, standardised supplier process.
