1435: Driving the Decade of Demand
Global society is getting closer to the marine transportation system, especially with its demands for performance. What they are looking for is accountability and transparency. This is augmented by social justice organizations raising awareness through global communications, prompting companies such as Patagonia, Ikea, Cargill and others to demand performance indicators. Investors, too, are scrutinizing these metrics, begging the question: How does your company measure up? How will our industry be judged on the world’s stage? How will our industry meet these demands?
