Sustainability and ethics
The effective management of health and safety, the environment, human rights and community engagement (collectively called “HSEC”) is essential to growing our business in a sustainable and responsible manner.
Gunvor therefore assigns the highest priority to preserving the health, well-being, human rights and safety of our employees, our customers, and the communities in which we operate; as well as respecting and protecting the environment in the countries with which we do business.
Vanderlaan logistics applies a range of risk management tools to minimize overall exposure at any one point in time. These include:
Governance
Our governance framework outlines how Gunvor manages our commitments to HSEC. Integral to this is our Group HSEC policy and our HSEC and Operational Risk expectations, which set out our vision and the standards that we apply, with oversight from our Group HSEC and Operational Risk Committee.
Health and Safety
Personal safety and accountability are at the heart of how Gunvor operates, and we have a responsibility to our employees and contractors to ensure their health and welfare, especially those working at our refineries and other industrial assets.
We have worked with our workforce to develop a set of expectations applicable to all our operating sites, and allowing all entities to work along the same standards.
Environment
Our activities have impact on the environment that assets specifically manage through local and dedicated systems.
Gunvor is measuring emissions across its activities, while seeking ways to reduce CO2, SOx and NOx from our facilities and shipping, and doing so in commercially sensible ways.
We monitor all effluents, in volume and quality and commit to respect all limits to protect waterbodies.
Each exceedance is treated as an incident and investigated as such.
