The people we do business with
We are the world's leading provider of integrated shipping services with over 5,000 clients globally, including charterers, vessel owners, trust funds and ship agents. Our market-leading technology and intelligence sets us apart, allowing us to influence client decisions at every step of the shipping lifecycle and form the trusted client partnerships that drive our business. We engage clients via meetings and presentations, client forums, client feedback and input into product development, social media and our website.
Enhancing solutions to overcome complexity
Our Green Transition team continues to work with clients on evolving regulations and broader decarbonisation strategies. We continued our investment in developing digital solutions that can facilitate decision-making, and support negotiation and management of freight transactions. Against a complex geo-political backdrop, we continued to develop our sanctions compliance programme.
Our employees are our biggest asset
We utilise a variety of channels to engage, develop and retain our people including leadership and divisional management forums, our Employee Voice Forum, global conferences, active management, our internal communications channel (Voyage), social media channels, digital platforms, social and networking opportunities and CSR activities.
New resources for better outcomes
We released new training and development resources, and encouraged opportunities for cross-business collaboration in key areas such as digitalisation and net-zero initiatives. We continue to support staff in charitable activity that is meaningful to them, and enhanced the mental health-focused benefits that we provide. We also conducted our first ESG materiality assessment to inform the foundations of an action plan. We continue to foster a culture of knowledge sharing and focus on leading with compassion and empathy through management and leadership.
The communities in which we operate around the world
Our stakeholders include the shipping community, industry-related partnerships and the wider communities in which we operate. We strive to have a positive and lasting impact on our communities because we believe that behaving in a socially responsible way is the right thing to do. We engage our communities via publications and our database, sharing expertise and knowledge through participation in industry forums, as well as employee directorships of shipping-related boards, industry partnerships, volunteering, charitable donations and the use of social media.
Insight drives better outcomes
To help our communities gain clarity in a fast-changing world, Clarksons continued to support new and existing partnerships and provided our Sea digital solutions to maritime universities at a significantly discounted rates. Local communities benefit from our employees' dedication to charitable giving and volunteering which is supported further through donations from The Clarkson Foundation. Our first ESG materiality assessment will provide the foundations for further action.
Growing from a strong foundation
We’re delighted to have continued our strong financial performance and maintained our progressive dividend policy. We’ve enhanced our shareholders' understanding of the Company’s executive remuneration structures. And our first ESG materiality assessment will provide the foundations for further action.
