Sustainability, HSE & ESG

Responsible work in the maritime sector

For TWS Maritime Service, sustainability connects the quality of maritime and cargo services with the people, places and business relationships involved in each assignment. Health, safety and the environment (HSE) are considered alongside environmental, social and governance matters (ESG).

This framework addresses planning for safe attendance, preventing avoidable environmental impacts, treating people fairly and preserving professional judgement. It considers the interaction between surveyors, crews, terminals, clients and suppliers, within the responsibilities of each party.

Principles for decisions and relationships

The policies in this section cover sustainability, HSE, environmental protection and supplier conduct. The Sustainable Development Goal commitments connect these principles with selected international priorities relevant to maritime services.

Application depends on clear responsibilities, suitable resources and attention to the circumstances of each assignment. Public statements about results require supporting evidence, a defined scope and appropriate review. Any numerical target must have a sound basis and specific approval.

Integrity and dialogue

These principles complement the Code of Ethics. Information shared with TWS is subject to the Privacy Policy, and service arrangements remain governed by the applicable Terms and Conditions.
