The Zero Emission Maritime Buyers Alliance (ZEMBA), is a non-profit buyers group within the maritime sector, with the aim to accelerate commercial deployment of zero-emission shipping, enable economies of scale, and help cargo owners maximize emissions reduction potential beyond what any one freight buyer could accomplish alone. ZEMBA is an initiative of Cargo Owners for Zero Emission Vessels (CoZEV) and facilitated by the Aspen Institute’s Energy and Environment Program.

ZEMBA is running a collective procurement in 2023 to procure maritime shipping services that achieve zero or near-zero emissions on a lifecycle basis.

The Value Change Initiative (VCI) is a membership-based, peer learning and development platform founded by Gold Standard and SustainCert. It’s objective is to unlock accounting, reporting and incentives related issues associated with Scope 3, with a particular interest in value chains.
