ESG in Maritime Industry Assignment : Literature Review on Environmental, Social and Governance Practices, Singapore

Literature Review

Sourcing and critically analysing literature on a range of topics will be a fundamental part of your study experience. This often means accessing material that goes well beyond opinion pieces scattered on the Internet and requires you to consult the College’s library systems. To get used to finding, reading, summarising, and analysing this material, you are required to prepare a short literature review using the College’s online Library, Google Scholar, or other resources you find appropriate.

Select seven contemporary references (i.e., from the last five years) to review. The references should address environmental, social and governance (ESG) concept within the maritime industry. The review shall include:

• THREE academic journal papers (e.g., from Maritime Policy and Management)
• ONE trade publication (e.g., Lloyds List, Seaways) • ONE section or chapter from a relevant academic textbook
• ONE official website
• ONE additional academic source chosen by you from anywhere.

Write a narrative literature review summarising the main ideas and research related to the topic you selected. To help organise this review, address the following questions:

• Introduction and background: What is already known and well established about the topic in the reviewed literature?
• Methods and data: What research methods and data collection approaches have been applied to the topic in the selected literature (e.g., case study, survey, literature review)? How sufficient and reliable is the data provided?
• Analysis and discussion: What controversies or inconsistencies have you noticed about the topic?
• Further research: What questions require further investigation and could advance understanding in this subject area?

Include a list of references using the Harvard Referencing System.
