GEARBULK
SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT
PROGRESS AND
PERFORMANCE
Taking proactive steps towards sustainable practices, we actively
collaborate with key suppliers to manage waste and reduce
carbon emissions throughout our operations.
In collaboration with our primary supplier, we have
been able to e昀昀ectively coordinate the retrieval of used
plastic wrapping generated during delivery of consumable supplies. Subsequently, the collected plastic
waste undergoes proper onshore disposal procedures.
Additionally, we initiated a pilot programme with our rope
supplier in China to recycle used mooring rope into agricultural 昀椀lm. We have also partnered with our freight forwarder
to reduce our carbon emissions, using the GLEC Framework
to map and measure them. The Freight forwarder calculated Gearbulk’s 2023 transport footprint, totaling 454,462
kg CO2-e. To o昀昀set these emissions, the Freight Forwarder
contributes to ‘Justdiggit’ – a land restoration organisation
in Tanzania.
