Donations and social investments

To ensure that the impact of our social investments is maximised, we prioritise causes and projects that support the global nature of our business and our desire to create opportunities for global commerce and local communities.

We have identified five priority causes for donations:

1. Provide disaster relief & build preparedness

   We give priority to projects that help alleviate the impact of natural disasters and other emergencies to increase access to essential goods and services for the communities affected.

2. Empowering people to trade

   We give priority to projects that help develop new social and economic opportunities for underprivileged communities by removing trade barriers and providing access to global value chains.

3. Protect the natural environment and the world’s oceans

   We give priority to projects that aid in protecting the health and well-being of the environment and natural resource base on which we, our customers and local communities depend.

4. Support education & training programmes

   We give priority to projects that promote education and knowledge building, which are vital instruments to promote livelihoods and the potential for long-term success in society. Priority will be given to areas aligned with our industry such as shipping, transport and logistics, safety, and educational programmes that promote the English language, maths, and career skills.

5. Support health and safety in our surrounding communities

   We give priority to projects that support safety and health in the living environment for the broader benefit of local communities.
