HSE – Safe, Healthy, and Sustainable Work Environment

HSE – Our Guiding Principle in Everyday Operations

Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) is at the core of all our processes and an integral part of the company’s culture and daily operations. For us, HSE is about more than complying with laws and regulations; it is about creating a safe, healthy, and sustainable working environment for both employees and partners.

Our dedicated Quality and HSE Engineer ensures that procedures, risk assessments, and preventive measures are continuously updated and adapted to our projects within the shipbuilding and offshore industries.

We work continuously with improvement initiatives, training, and open dialogue to reduce risk, prevent injuries, and protect the environment. Strict HSE requirements also apply to our subcontractors, ensuring that together we deliver safe and reliable services.

With ISO 9001:2015 certification and a strong internal focus on health, safety, and environmental responsibility, we document and evaluate our performance to ensure we consistently meet both current and future HSE requirements.

Expectations for Our Subcontractors – ESG 

We expect our subcontractors to commit to adhering to relevant ethical, environmental, and social standards (ESG) in their operations. This includes, but is not limited to: 

Environmental

Subcontractors are expected to actively work towards reducing their environmental footprint, including energy consumption, waste management, and emissions. Sustainable material choices and resource efficiency should also be prioritized. 

Social

We expect subcontractors to ensure fair labour conditions, including fair wages, safe working environments, and diverse, inclusive workplaces. Respecting human rights and avoiding discrimination are also essential. 

Governance

Ethical governance, transparency, and accountability are fundamental. Subcontractors must operate in compliance with laws and regulations, maintaining high standards of anti-corruption and adhering to both local and international standards. 

Subcontractors are expected to report any breaches they observe within their own supply chain. Additionally, subcontractors must agree to potential audits and inspections by us as we deem necessary.
