Introduction
The main aim of this report will be to discuss about the stainable offering which will
be capable enough of being marketed in an effective and efficient way. The idea chosen to be
discussed in this topic is the peace boat project, and their various kind of voyages. The profile
of the sustainable offering will be discussed, along with the environmental analysis, which
will include a PESTLE analysis and a SWOT analysis. An analysis will also be done on the
market and customer, where the organization is operating their business. This will help the
organization to evaluate the market on where they are operating, which will help them to
strategize their plans to maintain the sustainability in the business environment.
Profile of Sustainable Offering
Peace Boat was established in the year 1983 as a Japan-based Non-Governmental
Organization which operates worldwide. It has headquarters in Tokyo with five more centers
across Japan and a sister organization in New York too. The main work of Peace Boat is to
promote sustainability, peace and human rights. This organization carries out most of their
activities with the help of a passenger ship which travels around the world. Some of their
activities include strengthening local capacity for sustainable living, empowering the
participants and also building up cooperation among people across the borders.
Peace Boat is committed to provide a cleaner and more sustainable world through
their sustainable cruise ship named Ecoship. In order to perform advocacy and carry out
actions for respect and sustainability of the environment, it has built partnership with the
United Nations as well as some local organizations. The following are a few offerings by
Peace Boat for one step towards sustainability:
 Voyage of Light – this program, in partnership with Liter of Light, was organized to
bring solar lights throughout the world and spread some awareness regarding energy

lamp building workshops were also conducted to foster capacity building in the
communities.
 The Ocean and Climate Youth Ambassadors Program – Youth leaders were
brought from SIDS for spreading awareness on marine degradation and climatic
changes.
 Galapagos Forest Revitalization Project – the precious Galapagos island is under
threat due to fast development and new species settlements. Peace Boat works with
Charles Darwin Foundation to plant native species like Scalesia.
 Peace and Green Boat Voyages - Peace Boat works with Korea's largest
environmental group, the Green Foundation, for providing sustainable lifestyles and

 Ecoship – It will be the future platform for creating awareness, exhibiting green

The environmental analysis includes the PESTLE analysis as well as SWOT analysis
of the organization of Peace Boat, which are described as follows:
PESTLE Analysis
Political Factor – As the ship travels the whole world, it need to consider the political
regulations of the places through where they are travelling. Their operation also depends on
the political stability of the government of Japan and other countries, along with the social
welfare policies of the nations.
