Talent Attraction and Retention
Attracting and retaining top talent is crucial to successful business sustainability. Our strategy focuses on creating a welcoming and inspiring environment for our shore-based employees and seafarers. In traditionally male-dominated industries like maritime and commodities, increasing diversity and fostering an inclusive culture remains a key priority. We are also committed to continuous learning and development, ensuring our ever-growing workforce is equipped to adapt to the dynamic global economy and technological advancements.
Community Investment and Engagement
Our commitment to community engagement is a cornerstone of our people-centric approach, demonstrating our dedication to making a positive societal impact. We consistently allocate a portion of our profits to support community organisations, programmes, and initiatives. These contributions come from across our Group and its subsidiaries, as well as from The Caravel Foundation, which partners with various long-term projects to drive meaningful change.
Solidarity in Action – Collaborative Efforts for the Greater Good
We firmly believe in fostering positive societal change. Our array of initiatives reflects this ethos, stretching from leadership roles in industry associations to the courage demonstrated by our seafarers at sea.
Industry Leadership
Our executives actively participate in numerous maritime associations and industry bodies, sharing expertise to help shape the future of shipping. Notably, our COO, Angad Banga, holds leadership positions, including Chairman of the Hong Kong Shipowners Association and Rotational Chairman of the Asian Shipowners' Association. These roles highlight our commitment to guiding industry advancements.
Valour at Sea
Our seafarers consistently uphold the mariners' duty of aiding those in distress at sea, showcasing their courage and expertise in numerous rescue operations. Their efforts have been recognised with prestigious AMVER awards in 2023, honoring their participation in the global search and rescue network. Reinforcing our safety-first mindset, Fleet Management earned the DryBMS badge from RightShip and secured our 13th Outstanding Performance Award in Port State Control from the Hong Kong Marine Department in 2024. These accolades reflect our ongoing dedication to safeguarding lives at sea and contributing to the broader maritime community.
