THE SO2CIETY
[line] WE ARE A PART OF
Our business thrives on strong relationships. That’s why our brand promise—A Matter of Chemistry—is more than a tagline: it’s the way we work and do business. To ensure this promise remains a daily reality at Uni-Tankers, our social strategy takes a holistic approach, fostering a safe, supportive, and inclusive work environment for our employees—our most valuable assets.
Shipping liquid cargo around the world is a complex—and sometimes challenging—task. From cargo handling to navigating across oceans, vessel maintenance to docking, our work is tightly regulated and requires constant focus.
Upholding the health, safety, and security of our people is instinctive to us whether they work onshore or offshore. Our Safety Management System outlines what to do when dealing with a safety or security situation. We also report, track, and review all workplace incidents, unsafe acts, and near misses—and conduct regular inspections and audits to maintain our strong record.
We are always looking to raise standards. From providing all our seafarers with extended health insurance, including family cover, to a chemistry safety program promoting a proactive approach amongst our crews. In 2025, we also introduced mental health support for targeted seafarers.

While we did not achieve of 100% access to Re:mind by the original deadline of January 2025, the program was successfully implemented for the intended group by April 2025.
Engaged employees are the foundation of a thriving, resilient company. That is why we regularly monitor employee engagement and well-being across the organization to help maintain a workplace that is balanced, welcoming, and fair.
Through structured surveys, we assess key factors such as job satisfaction, motivation, and the feeling of belonging. The surveys help us identify areas where we can evolve and improve, with their results shaping internal action plans and training. This shows employees that their input is valued and can lead to positive change.
We support continuous development through a clear framework that helps employees shape their own career path. Always supported by strong social bonds and mutual respect. Our employee development approach includes coaching, mentorship, and leadership training—where relevant.

Fostering a fair and inclusive workplace culture leads to better decision-making and inspires fresh ideas. That is why we are committed to making shipping more attractive to all demographics and eliminating bias in our recruitment processes.
To ensure we identify and select the best candidates, we take a broad, inclusive approach. This includes recruitment training that emphasizes inclusive thinking, the use of gender-neutral language in job postings, and interview panels that reflect the variety of perspectives in our company.
Retention is closely tied to inclusion. When people feel respected and represented, they are more likely to stay and grow with us. That is why we focus on creating an environment where everyone has the opportunity to contribute, develop, and thrive.
