据马士基集团（A.P. Moller-Maersk ）网站报道，该公司已经退出了行业组织国际航运协会（ICS）的董事会成员，部分原因是该行业协会对气候变化的立场。
马士基是世界上最大的航运集团之一，大约十年来一直是ICS董事会的一员，但马士基的高管和董事会成员Henriette Hallberg Thygesen在贸易协会成员资格的年度修订后已经卸任。
马士基在其网站上说："我们每年审查一次我们的会员身份，以确保我们所加入的贸易协会的游说与《巴黎协定》的目标以及其他关键问题保持一致。
巴黎协定是世界各国在2015年达成的一项具有法律约束力的条约，旨在通过遏制全球温室气体排放来限制全球变暖。
它补充说："我们退出ICS董事会的选择也应该从这个角度来看，它没有具体说明它对ICS的立场有什么异议。“
一位发言人告诉路透社，该决定已在6月22日举行的ICS年度大会上宣布。
马士基还表示，它将把工作重点放在其在世界航运理事会（ World Shipping Council,WSC）的成员资格上，该理事会是一个集装箱托运人的贸易团体。
ICS拥有来自40多个国家的成员，代表了世界上80%以上的商业船队，其网站上说，它促进 "整个航运业的最佳实践"。
ICS拒绝发表任何评论。
马士基不是ICS的直接成员，但它是贸易团体丹麦航运的成员，而丹麦航运是ICS的成员。
马士基的目标是到2030年拥有一支碳中和船队，以实现其到2050年净零排放的目标。
航运业承载着全球约80%的贸易，占全球碳排放量的3%左右。

Shipping group Maersk quits board of lobby group ICS over climate concerns
A.P. Moller-Maersk has withdrawn its board member from industry organisation International Chamber of Shipping (ICS), partly over the trade association’s stance on climate change, according to the company’s website.
Maersk, one of the world’s largest shipping groups, has been part of ICS’s board for around a decade, but Maersk executive and board member Henriette Hallberg Thygesen has stepped down after an annual revision of trade association memberships.
“We review our membership status once a year to ensure that the trade associations in which we are members lobby in alignment with the goals of the Paris Agreement as well as other key issues,” Maersk said on its website.
The Paris agreement is a legally binding treaty between the world’s countries, agreed in 2015, which aims to limit global warming by curbing global greenhouse gas emissions.
“Our choice to step down from the ICS Board should also be seen in this context,” it added, without specifying what it disagreed with ICS’s stance.
A spokesperson told Reuters the decision had been announced at an ICS annual general meeting on June 22
Maersk also said it would focus its efforts on its membership of the World Shipping Council (WSC), a trade group for container shippers.
ICS, which has members from over 40 countries and represents over 80% of the world’s commercial fleet, promotes “best practices throughout the shipping industry,” its website says.
ICS declined to comment.
Maersk is not directly a member of ICS, but it is a member of trade group Danish Shipping, which is a member of ICS.
Maersk aims to have a carbon-neutral fleet by 2030 in order to meet its target of net-zero emissions by 2050.
The shipping industry carries around 80% of global trade and accounts for around 3% of global carbon emissions.
