ESG
We set Environmental, Social and Governance Goals for a sustainable future.
We create lasting change
At our core, we truly believe in treating everyone around us with the utmost care and respect. We know that our success is not just measured by our commitment to excellence, but also by how we treat our team, collaborators, communities, and society as a whole. We always strive to show empathy and understanding towards those we interact with, because we know that it makes a world of difference.
Leading the way in decarbonisation
According to the International Maritime Organization (IMO), the shipping industry was responsible for approximately 2.89% of global CO2 emissions in 2018. This may not sound like a lot, but if left unchecked, emissions from the maritime sector are projected to triple by 2050, which would account for up to 17% of global emissions.
Although the maritime sector will continue to rely on traditional fuels in the foreseeable future, without our strong commitments and leadership the sector will not meet its decarbonization target.
Our commitment to the maritime industry’s decarbonization efforts using conventional fuels is unwavering. Our goal is to provide support and guidance to help achieve this objective. Our collective efforts can make a significant contribution to the environment and pave the way for a sustainable future.
As one of the world’s leading bunker suppliers, we are in a unique position to help not only our clients but the entire industry to transition to low-carbon fuels.
We are dedicated to minimizing our environmental impact through sustainable practices, including reducing emissions and promoting the use of alternative fuels. We also strive to minimize waste and increase efficiency throughout our operations. Our goal is to minimize the environmental impact of our business and contribute to a cleaner, more sustainable future.
Promoting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in the Workplace
Baseblue is creating an increasingly diverse and inclusive workplace, across our presence in 34 countries with 53 nationalities. We strive to ensure that all our employees enjoy equal opportunities.
Our people regard Baseblue as open-minded, inclusive, and fair. We recognise and respect all religions and ethnic groups, with further internal education offered to all employees.
Gender distribution is a challenge for our industry. We are aware that there is room for improvement and are working to make sure we have a balanced gender composition. This aim is important for all aspects of our business and management levels.
Upholding the Highest Standards of Transparency and Accountability
The maritime industry operates globally while adhering to local regulations, demands, and standards. With an accelerating rate of change, Baseblue is under increasing pressure to navigate the market complexities. Nonetheless, we remain dedicated to tackling these challenges.
Baseblue has established a corporate compliance programme designed to identify, prevent, and mitigate risks related to compliance issues, addressing rules, regulations, and requirements under different local legal regimes.
We have a highly developed international regulatory compliance system well-tailored to our business environment. This applies to all officers, directors, employees, vessels, and entities.
