You can help to decarbonise shipping by becoming a ZEMBA member.
The Zero Emission Maritime Buyers Alliance (ZEMBA) is a first-of-its-kind buyers group within the maritime sector with the mission to accelerate commercial deployment of zero-emission (ZE) shipping solutions, enable economies of scale for freight buyers and suppliers, 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 Energy & Environment Program.
The NHS cannot get to net zero without net zero ships and coZEV provides a platform through which NHS cargo owners can engage and amplify their voice in calling for the decarbonisation of a sector on which healthcare is dependent.
There is also a question within the NHS EVERGREEN sustainable supplier assessment about being a member.
Who is a cargo owner – any supplier who ships goods via the maritime route so they can become a signatory to the coZEV ambition statement
Whilst shipping decarbonisation will eventually happen, the process can be accelerated when those purchasing services (cargo owners) make it clear they understand that shipping is associated with planetary and therefore, human harm and healthcare suppliers must do all they can do reduce this avoidable harm.
Prospective member briefings are scheduled for
- Thursday 3rd October 3.30pm – 4.30pm
- Tuesday 8th October 6.30pm – 7.30pm
- Wednesday 9th October 2.30pm to 3.30pm

The coZEV mission is defined as:
The mission of the coZEV initiative is to provide opportunities for cargo owner companies to collaboratively lead, innovate, and set a high level of ambition toward decarbonization of the maritime sector. In order to accomplish this, coZEV provides a nimble, ambitious, and action-focused platform for climate-forward companies to work with one another — and others in the maritime shipping supply chain — to undertake concrete initiatives that accelerate the pace of shipping decarbonization, bring zero-emission fuel and technology solutions to scale, and harness collective cargo owner voice to send demand signals for zero-emission solutions to the shipping value chain and policymakers. Through engagement in coZEV, cargo owners help shape the zero-emission shipping transition in order to achieve their ambitious climate goals and meet the logistical needs of their global businesses.
