The Future of Fuels Forecast
Eric Olson, Senior Vice President, Advisory Services
Energy is both the engine of the modern global economy and one of the biggest drivers of our sustainability challenges, including climate change. Providing access to affordable sources of energy will be critical to alleviating poverty and ensuring peace and prosperity for the 9 billion people expected to inhabit Earth in 2050. However, if we don't find ways to address the negative sustainability impacts of our energy sources—including many of the newer technologies, from unconventional fossil fuels to fuels and technologies that specialize in reducing carbon—these benefits will be undermined.

Assessing Terminals’ Environmental Performance: New BSR Report and Tool
Laura Ediger, Associate Director, Advisory Services
Global shippers and carriers have increasingly adopted practices to improve their environmental performance. It is now important for terminal operators to align with these efforts. BSR's recently released report and assessment tool for terminal operators, developed with support from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, will allow terminals to benchmark their environmental performance based on a common standard and prepare for the increasing demand for supply chain sustainability data. BSR's 2011 terminal operations case study analyzed efforts related to improving port and terminal environmental performance and found that ocean-based terminals lack globally applicable environmental frameworks and standards for performance. Based on this information, BSR developed an assessment tool in Chinese and English for terminal operators to track and report on environmental performance, such as emissions management and impacts on air pollution and community health. This report shares the results and feedback of three terminal operators who used the pilot tool, as well as our recommendations for implementation. Read more
