Message from our President and CEO
As we navigate the complexities of the shipping industry, I am honoured to address you on behalf of our company, where we uphold our commitment to advancing the triple bottom line: People, Planet, and Profit.
The global economy relies heavily on shipping, which serves as the lifeline for international trade. However, we are acutely aware of the environmental, social, and governance challenges inherent in this pivotal role. From the imperatives of the energy transition to the pressing concerns of labour shortages, safety, and ethical practices, our industry stands at a crossroads of responsibility and opportunity.
We are driven by a pledge to deliver excellence in international bulk shipping while championing sustainable practices. Our commitment to the highest standards of environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and corporate governance permeates every facet of our operations.
Fednav's ethos of adaptability to changing landscapes remains unwavering, yet we recognize that adherence to tradition is insufficient. We must continually innovate and elevate our practices to ensure a positive legacy for future generations.
Today, I am thrilled to unveil our 2023 Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) report, a testament to our dedication to our values of integrity, respect, and sustainability, and our alignment with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
We acknowledge that this journey is one of perpetual evolution, characterized by learning, innovation, and collaboration. We have set ambitious ESG goals, and remain steadfast in our commitment to transparency, diligently tracking our progress and sharing our performance openly.
I sincerely thank our employees, customers, suppliers, and stakeholders for their invaluable support and collaboration on this ESG journey. Your resilience, dedication, and commitment propel us forward, shaping a future where sustainability and prosperity intertwine.
ESG is a shared responsibility that transcends organizational boundaries. Together, we are architects of a more sustainable and prosperous future for all.
Sincerely,
Paul Pathy
President and CEO
