Who We Are
Who We Are
Ship It Zero is a coalition of environmental and public health advocates, scientists, shipping experts, and shoppers, working to get some of the largest companies in the world to commit to zero-emission shipping by 2030.
Our Targets
We’re urging brands to take immediate action to Ship It Zero by 2030, starting with these top corporate polluters:
Updates
We secured some of the world’s most ambitious ocean-climate shipping commitments: Amazon, Target, and IKEA have committed to 100% zero carbon ocean shipping by 2040.
We advocated for a U.S.-Korea green cargo shipping corridor between Seattle and Busan. In November, the countries announced that they would be partnering on the Busan-Seattle green corridor.
We encouraged city councils to pass Ship It Zero resolutions in Los Angeles, Long Beach, and Minneapolis, pushing top maritime import polluters, including Target, Walmart, Amazon and IKEA to quit dirty ocean shipping by 2030.
We persuaded international ocean shipping giant Maersk to accelerate its climate ambitions by a decade, committing to halve its emissions by 2030.
We raised the visibility of shipping’s dirty secret in the media through events like an Earth Day die-in at Target in Long Beach, symbolizing the eight-year lower life expectancy in portside neighborhoods (pictured above), as well as webinars and petition deliveries to big brand headquarters.
Ship It Zero has garnered national attention through 100+ articles in shipping & business trades and national outlets, like The Washington Post, National Public Media, CNN Business and Fast Company.

🚢 Ship It Zero, una coalizione #ambientalista che promuove un impegno serio da parte di rivenditori e vettori marittimi verso l`obiettivo di #emissioni zero entro il 2030, ha rilasciato una valutazione aggiornata delle principali #aziende in termini di impegno per ridurre le emissioni legate ai trasporti via mare.
👉 In base a diversi report effettuati da Ship It Zero sull’impatto delle #navi da merci dei vari e il trasporto marittimo di alcuni tra i più famosi brand, è emersa una scarsa attenzione delle aziende alla #decarbonizzazione delle flotte e all`adozione di carburanti a emissioni zero per la navigazione marittima. Le aziende sono state valutate in base a diversi criteri come emissioni di #CO2 e altre sostanze inquinanti come metano, e ossidi di azoto.
🌊 I brand presi in analisi dall’organizzazione sono circa 20 e ogni valutazione segue delle metriche precise che possono essere approfondite nel report facilmente reperibile sul sito www.https://shipitzero.org/reports/.

Hey @target, remember this?
Last year, your home city Minneapolis UNANIMOUSLY passed a #ShipItZero resolution calling on top ocean import polluters to commit to 100% #ZeroEmission ships.
It`s been a year, and @target isn`t keeping its climate promises — what`re you doing?!
Join us to CALL OUT @target (the 2nd most-pollutive ocean shipping retailer to the U.S.) for FAILING to follow through with their commitment to move products off fossil-fueled ships by 2040. 🚫
Just one click sends a letter to @target leadership — link in bio!
The International Maritime Organization (IMO) has mandated the shipping industry to clean up their act. Restrictions on sulfur emissions, increasing port fees and a depleting supply of fossil fuels is triggering an increase in the cost of conventional shipping. Freight companies will not be the ones footing the bill; through increased tariffs and undefined fees, cargo clients will be the ones that have to dig into their pockets.
SAILCARGO is a multi-faceted, for-profit company currently building the world’s largest zero emission cargo fleet.
We offer a long-term solution to pending maritime regulations, utilizing wind as an unlimited and unrestricted resource.
We supported entirely by private investors. Learn more at sailcargo.inc/investors

🚢 In #shipping news: Hapag-Lloyd is unhappy with low grade in new #climate rating
@hapaglloydag may be unhappy with their F grade in our Decarbonization Report Card, but if this German shipping giant wanted a better grade, they’d do MORE to #AbandonDirtyShips. 🌊
What factors earned @HapagLloydAG their F grade?
👎 Reliant on liquefied natural gas (LNG) #SayNoToLNG
👎 Advocates for false solutions like scrubbers
👎 Poor reporting on their ship #pollution
Shipping companies are the backbone of the global economy. 💲
They have a responsibility to clean up their dirty shipping that pollutes the air, sickens communities & worsens the #ClimateCrisis. 🌏 It’s why their promises aren’t enough — and our Decarbonization Report Card points out their real actions. #ShipItZero
🎉🚢 Celebrating 𝟭𝟬 Years of Impact!
We`re thrilled to announce that RALLY is marking our 10th anniversary this year! Over the past decade, we`ve been a part of some incredible cultural moments that have shaped the world around us.
This month, we`re celebrating 𝟭𝟬 cultural moments that we`re proud to have influenced in service of our clients. From changing policy to moving public opinion, each instance underscores our commitment to making a difference. We look forward to achieving more significant milestones in the years to come. 💫
🌍⚓𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗲𝗿 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗴. The pandemic — when everything we needed arrived at our doorstep in brown cardboard boxes — made many of us more aware of the environmental impact of global transportation and shipping. Retail ships move 90% of the world trade and emit 1 billion metric tons of climate pollution a year.
RALLY partnered with Pacific Environment and Stand.earth to launch "Ship It Zero" — a campaign targeting big retailers to commit to zero emissions shipping by 2030. Our strategic campaign, coupled with impactful digital content and whimsical design, pushed giants like Target, Amazon, and IKEA to publicly commit to zero-emission shipping—a significant step towards a more sustainable shipping industry. 🌱💪
💙 Together, we can create a positive impact and build a brighter future for all. 🤝

Great news! Today the @longbeachcity Council has APPROVED a #ShipItZero resolution calling on two of the nation’s largest ports — @PortOfLongBeach and @portofla — to commit to 100% #ZeroEmission ocean shipping by 2030! 👏
Ship It Zero continues to urge these ports, which make up the largest seaport complex in the Western Hemisphere 🌎 called the San Pedro Bay Port Complex, to #AbandonDirtyShips by 2030.
Thank you to the Long Beach City Council for standing up for #ClimateAction and adding their powerful voices to the fight to clean up polluting ocean shipping. We know that ocean shipping harms human health and worsens the #climate crisis — it especially hurts portside communities like Long Beach and Los Angeles.
This city council resolution is a win for Ship It Zero as well as local community members!
@HomeDepot: it’s time to put your money where your mouth is. 🤭
In 2021, your dirty ships released nearly 420,000 metric tons of CO2… this greenwashing won’t fool us! Invest in a sustainable tomorrow by committing to #ShipItZero by 2030. In your own words, it’s good for business too. 🤝
Share this post to show Home Depot executives we’re watching. 👀 #AllBrandsOnDeck
This June, we’re heading into summer! ☀️ 😎 But ocean shipping polluter @loweshomeimprovement — the SECOND most-polluting ocean importer in the furniture & home improvement sector — is putting a damper on Ship It Zero’s summer plans.
Tell Lowe’s to #ShipItZero this summer by sending Lowe’s execs a letter!
Lowes’ ocean ship pollution sickens portside communities & worsens air quality. Not what anyone wants to experience this summer, right Ship It Zero crew? 🏖️
Let’s get @loweshomeimprovement to kick off a climate-friendly summer by committing to #ZeroEmission shipping!
Find the letter in our ➡️ #LinkInBio and Instagram Story.
CCAir`s Deputy Policy Director Chris Chavez is quoted in this #SpectrumNews1 article on Ship it Zero`s efforts to achieve zero-carbon shipping in the ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles. Chavez notes, in particular, the disproportionate impact pollution from these hubs has on #lowincome neighborhoods.

We’re looking for…
✔️ Swimsuits

Breathe SoCal President & CEO Marc Carrel spoke yesterday in Long Beach about the importance of cleaning up port pollution. Clean trucks and clean ships are necessary to achieve the emissions reductions we need in our communities. Companies like Amazon must commit to a swift transition from dirty ships to clean ships. #AbandonDirtyShips #ShipItZero
The fossil-fueled shipping industry and big retailers like Amazon IKEAUSA Target Walmart are pumping tons of pollution into our air by shipping products overseas on ships that use the world’s dirtiest fuels 🚢 These polluting ships cause 6.4 million childhood asthma cases annually 😷
