Headquartered in Denmark, the charter's mission is to assist the UN reduce greenhouse gas emissions worldwide by 50% of 2008 levels by 2050. It outlines a global structure that aligns responsible environmental behavior with chartering activities in order to facilitate decarbonization within the international shipping community. The charter aims to do so by collecting signatures from companies around the world. As of April 2022, it is endorsed by 31 companies: ADM, AMAGGI, Anglo American, Bunge, Cargill Ocean Transportation, Chevron, COFCO International, Copenhagen Commercial Platform (CCP), Diamond Bulk Carriers, Dow, Eagle Bulk, Enviva, Equinor, Global Chartering, Gunvor Group, Holcim Trading, K+S Minerals and Agriculture, Klaveness Combination Carriers, Louis Dreyfus Company, Maersk Tankers, Navig8, Norden, Nova Marine Carriers, NYK Bulkship (Atlantic), Rubis Energie, Shell, Tata Steel, Torvald Klaveness, TotalEnergies, Trafigura, and Viterra Chartering.

The Sea Cargo Charter is not affiliated with any government organization, although it promotes the goals of the United Nations' 2015 Paris Agreement. The agreement strategically reorganizes technology frameworks, capacity building frameworks, and financial flows to reinforce countries' ability to deal with the impacts of climate change. The Charter supports the agreement by encouraging companies to participate in the spirit of the agreement by providing suggestions for reorganization of shipping activities so as to reduce carbon emissions. Mark Ross, the president of the Chevron Shipping Company, said “The Sea Cargo Charter provides a global standard for reporting shipping emissions that advances the decarbonization of the maritime industry. We are excited to join and partner with Sea Cargo Charter to enhance the transparency and accuracy of reporting which will promote responsible environmental performance”.
