Shell Marine is the first company involved in the development, supply and support of marine lubricants to receive accreditation under the International Marine Purchasing Association’s IMPA ACT Sustainable Maritime Suppliers scheme.

According to Shell the preferred supplier status[ds_preview] is conferred within the IMPA Responsible Supply Chain Management Initiative which seeks to improve the economic, social and environmental sustainability of international shipping and marine industries.

Members are leading ship owning and managing companies whose commitment is to implement the IMPA ACT Supplier Code of Conduct both within their company and through their supply chain. Preferred Supplier accreditation is awarded to those organizations that meet the IMPA ACT standards or reach agreed milestones, in a process that is fully audited by IMPA and may be subject to spot checks, Shell informs.

Shell is a global supplier of marine lubricants with more than 30 blending plants and a maritime supply network of more than 700 ports in 58 countries.
