The Sustainable Shipping Initiative Limited Company No. 08652606 Trustees' Report For The Year Ended 31 December 2025

The trustees present their report and the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2025.

Objectives and Activities

Aims and Objectives

The Sustainable Shipping Initiative exists to accelerate the transition to a sustainable and successful global shipping industry. Shipping underpins global trade and economic connectivity and is entering a period of structural transition shaped by climate pressures, rising expectations on ocean health, increasing focus on workforce conditions, and the need for more transparent and responsible investment.

SSI brings together leaders from across the maritime value chain to translate ambition into practical, scalable action. Its work focuses on aligning commercial practice, financial flows and operational standards so that sustainability becomes embedded in how the sector operates.

The charity operates as a cross-sector platform spanning shipowners, charterers, ports, finance, insurers, service providers and civil society. Its work is guided by the Roadmap to a Sustainable Shipping Industry, which sets out six interconnected areas of change: oceans, communities, people, transparency, finance and energy.

During 2025, SSI delivered its objectives through the development of tools and guidance, working groups, cross-sector collaboration, global engagement and partnership-building. Activities were focused on translating high-level commitments into usable frameworks, decision tools and implementation pathways that can be adopted across the industry.

In carrying out these activities, the trustees had regard to the Charity Commission’s public benefit requirement. The charity’s work delivers public benefit by improving environmental and social outcomes in a globally significant sector and supporting more responsible and sustainable decision-making across maritime systems.

Public Benefit

The trustees confirm that they have complied with the requirements of Section 17 of the Charities Act 2011 to have due regard to the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit.

Structure, Governance and Management

The charity is governed by its Articles of Association. Trustees are responsible for the organisation’s strategic direction, governance and financial oversight.

The Board met regularly throughout the year, providing active oversight during a period of delivery and development. During 2025, trustees focused on strengthening governance capacity, including trustee recruitment, succession planning and skills development to ensure the Board reflects the expertise required across maritime, sustainability, finance and organisational growth.

The year also included a period of leadership transition. This provided an opportunity to sharpen priorities, strengthen engagement with members and partners, and reinforce the organisation’s focus on delivery and impact. By the final quarter of the year, this was reflected in stronger external engagement, clearer programme direction and improved organisational momentum.

Day-to-day management was delegated to the Chief Executive and staff team, supported by specialist partners where required. The trustees continued to monitor organisational structure and capacity, with adjustments initiated to ensure alignment with programme delivery and future growth.

Key areas of Board focus during the year included oversight of programme delivery, financial sustainability, leadership transition and the prioritisation of organisational resources. Trustees also provided input into the organisation’s evolving strategic direction, including decisions on programme focus and delivery approach.

SSI's work is driven by its members, spanning the full maritime value chain from shipowners and charterers to financiers, classification societies and NGOs. In 2025/26, these were Klaveness Combination Carriers, Rio Tinto, Priya Blue, RightShip, Jotun, South32, The Mission to Seafarers, WWF, Forum for the Future, and the Institute for Human Rights and Business. Members don't just receive outputs; they initiate workstreams, stress-test approaches against real market conditions, and carry findings back into their own organisations and networks. This active participation is what makes SSI's tools and guidance credible and usable: they are developed with the people who have to implement them.

Achievements and Performance

2025 was a year of delivery, visibility and renewed momentum for SSI. Against a backdrop of increasing complexity in maritime sustainability, the organisation strengthened its role as a platform for practical action, supporting the industry to move from ambition to implementation.

The Sustainable Shipping Initiative Limited Company No. 08652606 Trustees' Report (continued) For The Year Ended 31 December 2025

Oceans and Biodiversity

A major focus of 2025 was advancing the integration of ocean health into shipping decision-making. The launch of the Marine Biodiversity and Ocean Health Guidebook and Toolkit marked a significant milestone, providing practical guidance to support companies in embedding ocean considerations into both operational and strategic processes.

This work was supported by strong global engagement, including participation in major forums and collaboration with scientific and policy partners, helping to position shipping within the broader ocean–climate agenda.

Ship Lifecycle and Circularity

SSI continued to advance its work on ship lifecycle and circularity, with a particular focus on the role of materials in the transition.

The Green Steel Insight Brief reframed the importance of lifecycle thinking in shipping, highlighting the role of steel in emissions, resource use and end-of-life practices.

This work also strengthened connections between shipping and other hard-to-abate sectors, reinforcing the need for cross-industry coordination.

Human Side and Workforce Conditions

SSI continued to build momentum in advancing crew welfare and workforce conditions, with increasing focus on measurable outcomes and integration into commercial and operational decision-making.

State of Sustainable Shipping

During 2025, SSI undertook a pilot phase of the State of Sustainable Shipping (SoSS) to explore how progress across sustainability themes could be more systematically tracked, updated and communicated.

Learning from the pilot has informed SSI’s broader approach to transparency, system mapping and the integration of data and evidence into programme delivery and will be revisited.

The Sustainable Shipping Initiative Limited Company No. 08652606 Trustees' Report (continued) For The Year Ended 31 December 2025

Global Influence and Collaboration

SSI maintained a strong presence at key international forums and policy processes during 2025, including London Climate Action Week, UNOC3, London International Shipping Week, New York Climate Week and preparations for COP30. This ensured that member perspectives and programme outputs were visible within key industry and policy discussions, and that SSI’s work contributed to shaping emerging agendas across climate, ocean and maritime sustainability.

Collaboration remained central to delivery. Through working groups, partnerships and convening activity, SSI continued to provide a platform for alignment in a sector characterised by fragmentation and complexity. The charity’s ability to connect actors, reduce duplication and create shared reference points remains a core strength and a key contributor to its impact.

In 2025, member engagement deepened, relationships were strengthened, and interest from prospective members increased. Partnerships were actively developed and reactivated, and the organisation’s external profile grew through increased communications and press engagement. These developments position SSI strongly as it moves into its next phase.

Financial Review

The financial position at the end of 2025 reflects a charity that has invested in delivery, strengthened its positioning and is entering a period of growth with increased confidence.

Total income for the year was £369,905, significantly exceeding the budget of £266,924. This outperformance was driven by strong fundraising and donations activity, demonstrating growing external confidence in the organisation’s work and direction.

Total expenditure for the year was £391,553, resulting in a net deficit of £21,648. The trustees consider this to be a planned and manageable deficit associated with investment in programme delivery, global engagement and organisational strengthening during the year.

The underlying financial trajectory is positive. The charity delivered income above expectations, maintained expenditure discipline, and closed the year with a strong reserves position of £119,891. This provides a stable foundation for ongoing operations and future growth.

By the November Board meeting, approximately £1.5m funding applications were in progress, alongside active engagement with major philanthropic organisations. Membership renewals for 2026 had also been initiated early, providing improved visibility and stability in income planning.

The trustees view this as a significant step forward in financial positioning, demonstrating a stronger pipeline, clearer case for support and improved confidence among funders and stakeholders.

Reserves Policy and going concern

The Charity has a policy of maintaining at least three months administration and contractual obligation costs (office expenses, service costs) during and at the end of the year. The charity’s reserves position is also robust. Required reserves at year end were £31,726, and reserves held were £119,891. The trustees confirm that the required reserves level was met, with a healthy buffer above the target level.

The trustees’ policy is to maintain reserves at a level sufficient to ensure stability while allowing for investment in delivery and growth. The year-end position indicates that this balance has been achieved.

Overall, the trustees consider the financial performance for 2025 to be strong, with a solid foundation established for continued growth and impact.

Plans for future periods

The year ahead represents a shift from momentum into scaled delivery. SSI’s 2026–2027 strategy is built on the recognition that while ambition in the maritime sector is high, progress is often constrained by lack of clarity, alignment and commercially viable pathways.

SSI’s role is to address these barriers by connecting evidence, incentives and practice so that sustainable action becomes credible and repeatable across the value chain.

The strategy introduces a delivery model focused on identifying coordination and decision bottlenecks, convening key actors, developing practical tools, testing approaches through pilots, and translating results into scalable guidance for the industry.

For 2026 and 2027, SSI will deliver through three Strategic Delivery Platforms.

The Sustainable Shipping Initiative Limited Independent Examiner's Report to the Trustees of The Sustainable Shipping Initiative Limited For The Year Ended 31 December 2025

I report to the charity trustees on my examination of the accounts of the Company for the year ended 31 December 2025.

Responsibilities and Basis of Report

As the charity trustees of the Company (and also its directors for the purposes of company law), you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006 (“the 2006 Act”).

Having satisfied myself that the accounts of the Company are not required to be audited under Part 16 of the 2006 Act and are eligible for independent examination, I report in respect of my examination of your charity’s accounts as carried out under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (‘the 2011 Act’). In carrying out my examination I have followed the Directions given by the Charity Commission under section 145(5) (b) of the 2011 Act.

Independent Examiner's Statement

Since the Company’s gross income exceeded £250,000 your examiner must be a member of a body listed in section 145 of the 2011 Act. I confirm that I am qualified to undertake the examination because I am a member of The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants, which is one of the listed bodies.

I have completed my examination. I confirm that no matters have come to my attention in connection with the examination giving me cause to believe:

  1. accounting records were not kept in respect of the Company as required by section 386 of the 2006 Act; or

  2. the accounts do not accord with those records; or

  3. the accounts do not comply with the accounting requirements of section 396 of the 2006 Act other than any requirement that the accounts give a 'true and fair view' which is not a matter considered as part of an independent examination; or

  4. the accounts have not been prepared in accordance with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice for accounting and reporting by charities applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102).

I have no concerns and have come across no other matters in connection with the examination to which attention should be drawn in this report in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.

The Sustainable Shipping Initiative Limited Notes to the Financial Statements For The Year Ended 31 December 2025

1. General Information

The Sustainable Shipping Initiative Limited is a company limited by guarantee, incorporated in England & Wales, registered number 08652606 and registered charity number 1157491 . The registered office is 11a Park Street, Camberley, Surrey, GU15 3PQ.

2. Accounting Policies

2.1. Basis of Preparation of Financial Statements

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Charities SORP (FRS 102) "Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019)", Financial Reporting Standard 102 "The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland" and the Companies Act 2006.

The charitable company is a Public Benefit Entity as defined by FRS 102.

2.2. Income

Recognition of income is included in the Statement of Financial Activities (SoFA) when the charity becomes entitled to the resources, it is more likely than not that the trustees will receive the resources and the monetary value can be measured with sufficient reliability.

Income received in advance of the provision of a specified service is deferred until the criteria for income recognition are met

2.3. Expenditure

Expenditure is recognised where it is more likely than not that there is a legal or constructive obligation committing the charity to pay out resources and the amount of the obligation can be measured with reasonable certainty.

2.4. Fund Accounting

Restricted funds are to be used for specific purposes as laid down by the donor. Expenditure which meets these criteria is charged to the fund. Unrestricted funds are donations and other income resources received or generated for the charitable purposes.

2.5. Tangible Fixed Assets and Depreciation

Tangible fixed assets are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of the fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:

Fixtures & Fittings 20% Straight Line Computer Software 20% Straight Line Computer Equipment 33% Straight Line

2.6. Debtors

Debtors (including trade debtors and loans receivable) are measured on initial recognition at settlement amount after any trade discounts or amount advanced by the charity. Subsequently, they are measured at the cash or other consideration expected to be received

2.7. Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are basic financial assets and include cash in hand and deposits held at call with banks, other short-term highly liquid investments that mature in no more than three months from the date of acquisition and are readily convertible to a known amount of cash with insignificant risk of change in value, and bank overdrafts.

2.8. Creditors

The charity has creditors which are measured at settlement amounts less any trade discounts

2.9. Provisions for liabilities

A liability is measured on recognition at its historical cost and then subsequently measured at the best estimate of the amount required to settle the obligation at the reporting date

2.10. Foreign Currencies

Monetary assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rates of exchange ruling at the balance sheet date. Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into sterling at the rate ruling on the date of the transaction. Exchange differences are taken into account in arriving at the operating surplus.

10

The Sustainable Shipping Initiative Limited Notes to the Financial Statements (continued) For The Year Ended 31 December 2025

2.11. Pensions

The charity operates a personal pension plan, which is a defined contribution scheme. Contributions are charged to the statement of financial activities in the periods to which they relate. The charity has no liability under the scheme other than for the payment of those contributions.

2.12. Governance and Support Costs

Support costs have been allocated between governance costs and other support. Governance costs comprise all costs involving public accountability of the charity and its compliance with regulation and good practice.
