CENTER FOR ZERO CARBON SHIPPING: DECARBONIZATION WILL DRIVE FUTURE ESG AND SUSTAINABILITY TRENDS SAFETY4SEA: What are the top priorities on your agenda for the next five years? Kasper Møller Nielsen: To transition to a zero-carbon future, a top priority must be to have the regulatory clarity to allow companies to invest in the technologies and solutions of tomorrow – derisking those investments becomes incredibly important.
