Year: 2021 Language: english Author: Madeline Rose, Pacific Environment Genre: Technical book Publisher: pacific environment Edition: 1st ed. Format: PDF Quality: eBook Pages count: 18 Description: Retail giants have outsourced the manufacturing of consumer products for decades. This has driven significant growth in fossil-fueled maritime shipping. Backed by Big Oil, fossil-fueled maritime shipping is so cheap that it helps justify corporations’ production of goods overseas. The world’s shipping fleet has quadrupled in size since the 1980s to keep up with demand. Globally, the environmental and public health impacts of shipping’s rise are massive. Each year, the shipping industry produces one billion metric tons of climate emissions, causes 6.4 million childhood asthma cases, and contributes to 260,000 premature deaths. Data on specific companies’ contributions to these global numbers, however, is relatively unknown. Pacific Environment and Stand.earth produced this report to improve public understanding and oversight of corporate responsibility for shipping industry emissions. We sought out to determine which retail companies are responsible for the greatest levels of fossil-fuel pollution because of their annual maritime imports. Using publicly available national import data and never-before-used rigorous research and verification methods, we identified the fifteen retail companies that produce the highest levels of climate and air pollution as a result of their maritime imports to the United States.
