SINGAPORE's APL, now a unit of French shipping giant CMA CGM has become a signatory of
the United
for Wildlife (UFW) Transport Taskforce, declaring to prevent the
transportation of illegal wildlife and their products in the fight against
illegal wildlife trade.
"APL recognises that we can be
instrumental in preventing illicit wildlife trading if we do not transport
these products; and discourage consumption of these products by educating our
stakeholders," said APL eco chief Dennis Yee.
This builds on APL's policy not to ship shark fin,
dolphins, whales, elephant tusks as well as rhinoceros and antelope horns.
Said Mr Yee: "Abiding by all
laws and regulations, we will stay aligned with global environmental
sustainability initiatives and collaborate with like-minded stakeholder groups
to make a difference in wildlife protection."
