Corporate Social Responsibility (“CSR”) Statement

As a Company which operates a fleet of vessels worldwide, Tomini Shipping recognize our responsibility to the environment.   We also have an obligation to our staff and the quality of their workplace and to the communities in which we operate.

We aim to integrate CSR efforts into our daily operating and business practices, because the actions we take not only affect the long-term sustainability of our business, but also make us stronger and enhance the value of our business.

Environmentally, we aim to reduce waste by minimizing what we consume both at sea and ashore.   In the workplace, we seek to create a culture whereby safety prevails across all activities and operating practices and where our employees can thrive and make a difference.   In the community, we advocate and engage with organizations that are involved in or connected with maritime and transportation.

We separate the different elements of our CSR policy into three main areas:

Environment

Business Ethics & Anti-Corruption

People & Community

Environment

Reducing the Company’s environmental footprint involves not only action to assess and reduce the environmental impacts of the Company’s sites (energy, water, paper and energy consumption) but also the progressive inclusion of environmental criteria into purchasing policies.

We comply with the highest standards of environmental management, quality management and safety management and have achieved ISO certification for the standards ISO 14001:2015, ISO 9001:2015, OHSAS 18001:2007.

Our young fleet has an average age of 3 years.   These ECO vessels are designed to have significantly lower fuel consumption and emissions than older models.   The build is of a higher quality, which reduces significantly the risk of incidents, our aim going forward is to reduce or maintain the average age of our vessels.

The company promotes environmental activities throughout its entities through internal guidelines and processes based on green principles.  The company encourages, for example, paper recycling actions as well as conversion to e-document formats.
