Our Corporate Direction

Running our business on a sustainable basis is an imperative;
ESG & Sustainability is not just a box to be ticked, but something
which must underpin everything we do.

Business has a crucial role to play in setting the agenda and at West we aim to lead by example and help our Members to have a strong voice in shaping the sustainable maritime industries of tomorrow. To strengthen our efforts in this regard, West has created a separate ESG function, drawing on expertise in this area to expand the work of our ESG Committee and to formulate an ESG & Sustainability strategy which is fully aligned with of our overall business strategy.

West actively represents its Members in various expert industries from across organisations such as the International Group of P&I Clubs, BIMCO, INTERTANKO, the UK Chamber of Shipping and ITOPF. As Chair of the IG’s Pollution Committee and a member of the ITOPF Board of Directors, I see at first-hand how such forums act as a platform for sharing, learning and collectively establishing practice.

Our vision at West is to harness that internal and collective knowledge and apply it to underpin all our operations and be in a position to help and support our Members.
