Outlining Norwegian Cruise Line Holdings’ (NCLH) net-zero pathway, Jessica John, vice president of ESG, investor relations and corporate communications, said "fundamental challenges" continue to exist for the sector to fully decarbonise by 2050.
"Rather than waiting for these challenges to dissolve, our strategy is about acting now to implement solutions for efficiency today, innovate for future solutions and collaborate with our stakeholders along the way," she added.
"Underpinning this strategy is good governance and effective risk management as we work to advance our climate action efforts and build our company’s resilience."
It comes as NCLH, which also operates Oceania Cruises and Regent Seven Seas Cruises, launches its revamped climate action strategy along with short- and near-term greenhouse gas (GHG) targets to support the company’s pursuit of net zero by 2050.
The company will look to reduce GHG intensity by 10% by 2026 and 25% by 2030, compared to a 2019 baseline with intensity measured on a per capacity day basis.
"We are proud to further refine and strengthen our climate action strategy and commitments including by setting milestone GHG intensity reduction targets which will guide us on our ambitious pursuit of net zero by 2050," said Harry Sommer, president and chief executive officer-elect of NCLH.
