V.Group Efforts and Initiatives
Gender equality is a human right, and is vital for a peaceful, prosperous world. Everybody should be encouraged to consider a career at sea as global demand for seafarers increases. V.Group is leading the way with 51% / 49% split among its male and female onshore teams, and are actively driving initiatives to increase diversity amongst seafarers. To stop degradation, we must preserve natural habitats and elimination of pollution by: • Working towards eliminating plastic pollution both ashore and at sea, • Reduce and eliminate SUP (Single Use Plastic) from our supply chain, • Raising awareness regarding degradation of natural habitats, • Raising awareness regarding water conservation. We achieved elimination of 5.8+ million plastic water bottles per year since 2019, with 40,000+ reusable stainless-steel bottles distributed to vessels. We removed all SUP items from our procurement process. 221.73 m³ MARPOL garbage categories A & C materials recycled since January 2021 in Singapore. Targets for 2030 include using more renewable, affordable energy. V.Group is proud to be an active member of the initiative Getting to Zero Coalition. The coalition is a powerful alliance of more than 70 companies within the maritime, energy, infrastructure and finance sectors, supported by key governments and IGOs, committed to making the vision of decarbonised shipping a reality. To make the ambitious target of reducing international shipping’s GHG emissions by at least 50% by 2050 a reality, the coalition is committed to getting commercially viable deep sea zero emission vessels into operation by 2030. The aim is for sustainable economic growth and decent employment for all; we actively promote safety first culture to ensure safe and secure working environment on all our vessels and offices. Our management system follows closely all ISO standards and guidelines. In 2021we improved reporting safe/unsafe practices & near misses across the Group. Our ambition is to promote ISO 45001 adherence throughout our supply chain and 73% of our suppliers have ISO 9001. These goals aim to foster eco-friendly production, reduce waste and boost recycling. We are trying to eliminate food waste through: • Digitally supporting stock management procedures, • Training and raising awareness both at shore and at sea, • Proper food waste management practices. The aim is inclusive societies with strong institutions that provide justice for all. If all countries are to achieve the goals, international cooperation is vital. Enhancement of collaborations with industry associations, • Bribery training of all employees • Child Labour awareness. • Monitoring & reporting of sustainability goals.
