The shipping industry is of significant importance in achieving the global sustainable development goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations (UN) in 2015, also referred to as Agenda 2030. This paper sets out to determine the state of engagement to these goals by shipping companies and to identify the main barriers and levers affecting the integration into their business. Reviewing sustainability reports from thirteen major container line operators for the financial year 2021 reveals a rather disappointing level of effort in response to the Agenda 2030 objectives. Overall, the sector focuses on a few goals related to environmental impact, education, work and economic development (SDGs 13, 14, 8, 4). However, the analysis revealed an insubstantial level of SDG engagement for the industry derived from the predominantly superficial nature of the disclosed information, the gap between intentions and actions taken, and the marginal use of specific progress assessments, performance indicators, and measurable targets. Supplementary interviews with industry experts confirmed moderate commitment driven by stakeholder expectations but limited attention to the SDGs, mainly for practical reasons. While stating a high probability of not achieving the defined longerterm targets, practitioners call for tightened and globally aligned environmental regulations of the sector, financial incentives for sustainability performance, suitable frameworks including KPIs and compulsory SDGrelated reporting guidelines aligned to the industry. This empirical study sheds light on the commitment to the Agenda 2030 at the organizational level and contributes to the sparse literature on sectorspecific adoption of the Sustainable Development Goals.

520 $a O transporte maritimo tem uma importancia significativa para se poder alcancar os Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentavel (ODS) adotados pela Organizacao das Nacoes Unidas (ONU) em 2015, conhecidos como Agenda 2030. Este documento pretende determinar o grau de compromisso das empresas de navegacao com esses objetivos e identifica as principais barreiras e impulsionadores que afetam seus negocios. A analise dos relatorios de sustentabilidade de treze grandes operadoras de linhas de conteineres em 2021 revela um esforco decepcionante em relacao aos objetivos da Agenda 2030.O setor geralmente concentrase em alguns objetivos relacionados ao impacto ambiental, educacao, trabalho e desenvolvimento economico (ODS 13, 14, 8, 4). No entanto, a analise revela um envolvimento superficial com os ODS na industria, com informacoes divulgadas predominantemente superficiais, uma lacuna entre intencoes e acoes e um uso limitado de avaliacoes de progresso especificas, indicadores de desempenho e metas mensuraveis.As entrevistas suplementares realizadas a especialistas do setor confirmaram um compromisso moderado, impulsionado pelas expectativas das partes interessadas, mas uma atencao limitada aos ODS, principalmente por razoes praticas. Embora afirmem uma alta probabilidade de nao atingir as metas de longo prazo definidas, os profissionais pedem regulamentacoes ambientais mais rigidas e globalmente alinhadas para o setor, incentivos financeiros para o desempenho de sustentabilidade, estruturas de reporte adequadas, incluindo KPIs e diretrizes obrigatorias de relatorios relacionados com ODS. Este estudo empirico lanca luz sobre o compromisso com a Agenda 2030 a nivel organizacional e contribui para a escassa literatura sobre a adocao setorial dos Objetivos de Desenvolvimento Sustentavel.
