ESG REPORT 2023
FUTURE ACTIONS
Research and monitor relevant technologies
We will continue our efforts to research and
monitor available technologies which can support
our journey to reduce potential and negative
impacts that are caused by our organisation. These
technologies could include updates of current technologies already in use or implementation of new
innovative technologies that have been thoroughly
researched.
Implement our Environmental Policy and
relevant training
Gearbulk has developed an Environmental Policy
which is to be implemented within 2024. The policy
supports our e昀昀orts to reduce the negative impacts
we, as an organisation, might have on Biodiversity. As part of this, training on this policy will be
provided to all shore sta昀昀.
Explore Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
partnerships
During 2024 Gearbulk will begin assessing potential
partners that we could work with to support our
ambition of limiting any negative impacts which our
operations may incur. The assessment will include
numerous organisations and consider potential
synergies, as this is paramount to the partnership.
Assess additional noise reduction measures
Currently Gearbulk has implemented measures
such as slow steaming to reduce possible noise
disturbance in addition to route planning and navigation. We aim to further reduce our impact by
assessing alternative options that could further
support noise reduction in protected areas.
