Human sustainability programme

Founded

April 2022

Maritime transport is the backbone of international trade and the global economy, but the human side of this vital industry often goes unnoticed and unappreciated. The nearly two million seafarers and the millions more who work in global supply chains often face harsh working conditions, safety and harassment issues, and mental health challenges. The sector also lacks gender balance and diversity. We want global seaborne trade to be a humanly sustainable industry where everyone can expect to work in a safe environment and be treated with dignity and respect.
