Authoritative Certification Empowers CSAC to Lead Industrial Green Upgrade

As one of the most authoritative technical certification bodies in China’s shipbuilding and offshore engineering sector, China Classification Society (CCS) launched the Green Additional Mark for Marine Product Carbon Footprint, aiming to drive the upgrade of marine supporting products from compliant manufacturing toward green manufacturing, intelligent manufacturing and sustainable corporate responsibility.

This certification system covers the entire industrial chain ranging from raw material procurement, production and manufacturing, logistics and delivery, to product operation and recycling. It highlights the calculability, traceability and verifiability of product-level carbon footprint.

CSAC’s acquisition of this certification signifies the following achievements:

• ●In accordance with the ISO 14067 carbon footprint accounting standard and CCS Guidelines for Carbon Footprint Verification of Marine Products, CSAC has established a complete product-level carbon footprint accounting system, realizing full-life-cycle carbon footprint quantification, traceability and management for its products.

• ●Digitalized and refined management of carbon emissions throughout the entire production process has been realized.

• ●The company meets the high-standard requirements of global green supply chains in the international shipping industry for key equipment manufacturers.

●This milestone certification not only serves as authoritative recognition of CSAC’s technical strength, but also consolidates its advantageous position in the green procurement systems of global shipowners and offshore engineering clients.
