*Decisions become a form of unlawful discrimination when race, creed, national origin, ethnicity, or gender cause one person to be treated differently than another. Some states have laws that also protect against discrimination on the basis of marital status or sexual orientation.
Swire Shipping continues to encourage and support the growing role of women in maritime by creating a culture where women feel safe and are supported. We have in place Policies, such as D&I Policy, Respect in the Workplace Policy as well as the Corporate Code of Conduct, all of which further embed diversity and equality of treatment and opportunity into all operations to ensure that all employees benefit from a welcoming, positive, innovative and out-performing work environment, which is essential to Swire Shipping’s continuing success.
In addition to the policies the Company also provides a whistleblowing hotline to deal with any potential issues.
In 2022 a Preventing Sexual Harassment Onboard training module was introduced which is presented during seafarer seminars and Safety Awareness and Safety Leadership Courses. We are committed to recruiting more female seafarers and is therefore obligated to ensuring a safe environment on vessels, educating seafarers on what is acceptable behaviour, empowering female seafarers, and providing them with means of discreetly reaching out for assistance should there be any unwelcome behaviour on board.
Swire Shipping is committed to providing a safe environment where all people are respected, and our services are delivered in a safe and respectful way.
