INTEGRATED REPORT 2023
Innovation
As a leader in our industry, we are always looking for new
ways to create value for our customers, our employees, and
our stakeholders. In 2023, we launched several initiatives to
drive digital transformation, including the creation of a Digital
Hub to empower innovation and collaboration. Gearbulk also
has developed a Digital Framework that supports our strategic
goal of creating value through innovation and digitalization
for both sea and shore operations. Some of the major initiatives included the rollout of a new 昀氀eet communication
system (VSAT), the implementation of a new crew management system (CMS), and the creation of a several corporate
dashboards to support our business and operational needs.
Developing a strategic roadmap
As we look ahead, we are excited about the future of our
industry and our company. We believe that there is a growing
demand for our services, as the world transitions to a more
sustainable and circular economy, and as new markets and
opportunities emerge for breakbulk and bulk cargoes.
To capture these opportunities, and to maintain our leadership position, we need to have a clear and ambitious strategic
roadmap, that aligns with our vision, mission, and values, and
that sets out our goals, priorities, and actions for the next 昀椀ve
years and beyond.
We have continued developing our strategic roadmap and in
2023, where we embarked on furthering our strategic review
process, involving our management and employees taking into
consideration material matters raised from our stakeholders.
We used a participatory and inclusive approach, to ensure that
we have a shared understanding of our strengths, weaknesses,
opportunities, and threats, and that we have a common vision
of where we want to go, and how we want to get there.
With the work concluded in 2023, we aim to establish a robust
and transparent framework to monitor and measure our
progress and to adjust and adapt our strategy as the external
environment and stakeholder needs evolve. We will report on
our strategic roadmap, and on our performance against our
strategic objectives, in our annual integrated report, and in
our regular communications with our stakeholders.
