April 2021 | A sustainable investment is no longer a trend, but a reality. Today, German private investors already invest one in ten euros sustainably, and by 2025 this figure is expected to rise to one in four euros. According to a study by Puls Marktforschung for the private bank Quirin, one in five private investors wants to switch their financial investments entirely to sustainability. Lucrative returns and the good feeling of doing something meaningful with their money are probably what drive most people here.

But climate protection is not only good for the environment. CO2 efficiency measures are also increasingly developing as a competitive advantage. And that can have significant advantages for investors. Our example: shipping and the Vogemann Green Ship Token.

August 2020 | Shipping is considered to be one of the world’s major polluters. That ships are now entering the market for sustainable financial investments as a “green deal” initially seems paradoxical. Let’s talk about environmental protection in shipping!

Now, as with any other issue, it is important not to generalize. Many people automatically associate environmental protection with climate protection and in particular with the emission of carbon dioxide (CO2), which has demonstrably serious effects on climate change.

What is often not known is that CO2 emissions in shipping are lower than those of land or air transport, and that with significantly higher freight volumes per transport. And CO2 is not the only greenhouse gas. In addition, there are other challenges to environmental compatibility that are being actively addressed.

In our series “Environmental Protection in Shipping” we get to the bottom of various pollutants. After all, background knowledge is needed. How green is a “green deal” like the Green Ship Token from the shipping company Vogemann?
