Our workforce’s health, safety and wellness aren’t just priorities, they are fundamental to our operations.
Applied equally across our offices and vessels, our strategy intertwines robust policies, in-depth training and proactive risk management to create a working environment that is both safe and empowering. Beyond physical wellness, we have pioneered mental health support initiatives like our Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for all staff and specialised care through our Fleet Care team for seafarers.
While the health and safety of seafarers remain a key focus, we are also making significant progress in enhancing our systems for onshore employees, supported by comprehensive policies and procedures designed to safeguard our people.
• Target zero catastrophic accidents and incidents on board our ships.
• Target zero work-related fatalities and catastrophic injuries on ships.
• Continual review and enhancement of health and safety training provided to all seafarers.
• Broaden our health and safety strategy to involve all employees in holistic programmes.
• Hold 18 Psychological First Aid (PFA) and 12 Wellness at Sea (WAS) training sessions for seafarers per year.
• Achieve a 10% increase in the number of Family Support Group (FFSG) members by the year 2025.
• Run 12 safety campaigns on ships each year.
• Improve the Group’s wellbeing score to 78% by 2028.
• Conduct 12 Tea Talk sessions to enhance the wellbeing of seafarer families each year.
Our Holistic Approach to Wellness Onshore and at Sea
We place immense importance on the health and wellbeing of our employees on land and our seafarers, with a range of bespoke initiatives to support our people both onshore and at sea.
Wellness at Sea
Promoting wellbeing at sea is essential to ensuring a positive work environment for our seafarers. Our social engagement programme is designed to provide crew members with much-needed respite from their duties and opportunities to connect with others. Carefully curated by our Fleet Care team, these activities encourage camaraderie and teamwork, fostering a sense of unity on board. By emphasising wellness, we recognise that the success of our business is closely linked to the health and happiness of our employees and seafarers.
Wellness Onshore
With our commitment to fostering a culture of wellbeing, we encourage our employees to prioritise their physical and mental health through various wellness initiatives. Our FLEETFIT programme exemplifies this commitment, offering activities and resources designed to keep our teams active and engaged, both physically and mentally. Through wellness sessions, global challenges, and ongoing support, we ensure our people have the tools they need to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
