Shipbuilding (-SB) – The Shift to Sustainable & Responsible Construction

The Industry’s Growing Challenge

Shipbuilders are facing stricter environmental and labor regulations, increasing supplier audits, and rising client demands for sustainability.

Why Companies Are Being Forced to Change:

  • IMO & EU regulations are tightening on sustainable ship recycling & lifecycle management.
  • Governments and buyers demand ethical supply chains—shipyards must prove responsible sourcing and fair labor practices.
  • Worker safety and hazardous material regulations are being enforced more aggressively, increasing the risk of fines and shutdowns.

Failure to comply means:

  • Exclusion from government-funded projects due to missing ESG compliance.
  • Financial penalties for unsafe working conditions and labor rights violations.
  • Market loss as buyers shift to ESG-certified shipyards.
