V.Group Efforts and Initiatives
To end poverty, everyone should have basic healthcare, security, and education. As a group we currently provide about 3400 seafarers and their families with full health insurance. Recently we have managed to support families in need through the AGAPI non-profit charity organisation in Limassol, Cyprus, by donating essential items such as dry food, canned items, baby food and diapers. Furthermore, our Colleagues from our Oceanic Training Centre in Manila, have visited the Tanhanan nga Pagmamahal, Childrens Home Inc., and donated 2 water filtration units providing access to Clean Sustainable Water. Our goal is to promote ethical & sustainable food supply, by raising awareness and supporting local economies through short food supply chain and seasonality by: • Digitally supporting sustainable procurement processes by capturing endangered species, fresh produce seasonality. • Sustainability score for suppliers & procurement cycle. V.Care programme, Stay In touch, Let’s Talk (A set of materials which is designed to encourage discussion on board and in the office to help boost awareness about mental wellbeing and the importance of interaction among colleagues), Building Healthy Habits and Wellness at Sea are part of our commitment to improving both mental and physical wellbeing across V.Group. We safeguard occupational health, safety & wellbeing both on shore and at sea via: • Standardised range of Galley & Accommodation cleaning solutions, • Provision of MSDS (Material Safety Data Sheets) and providing crew training.
The UN wants everyone to have access to inclusive, fair quality education and awareness about sustainable development and global citizenship. We promote educational material on sustainability topics via our quarterly SEAS newsletters editorial and dedicated bulletins.
