We are committed to the health, safety, and well-being of our employees, both on shore and at sea, with a strong emphasis on respecting labour and human rights. We prioritise the training and development of our people while fostering an environment that respects the rights and dignity of all our employees.

Planet

Environmental Stewardship

PIL is committed to improving the impact of our businesses and operations on the environment. By optimising energy efficiency, adopting cleaner fuels and embracing renewable energy, we actively reduce our greenhouse gas emissions footprint and contribute to a healthier planet.

As we ply the oceans, we are cognizant of our duty of care to safeguard the very same marine ecosystems which we operate in. We adopt responsible practices to protect marine biodiversity, mitigate pollution, and promote a healthy ocean. From sustainable shipping operations to coastal conservation, we aim to protect the delicate balance of life below water.

Economic Performance

PIL believes that sustainable business practices are supportive of business viability. For example, the adoption of energy-efficient technologies for our vessels not only benefit the environment but also improve our cost efficiencies. By making smart investments in technology and innovations, we can further enhance our enterprise value.

We also consider that embracing sustainability connects us better with the values of our diverse stakeholders, including investors who consider ESG factors in their decision making. Our commitment strengthens our financial resilience while generating a positive impact on the planet and people.

Our decarbonisation imperative

PIL is committed to improving our operational greenhouse gases (GHG) footprint and achieve net zero GHG emissions by 2050 by leveraging on various key strategies and initiatives.
