CSR in TORM

In TORM we have made the decision to integrate CSR in our business strategy because we believe CSR is a prerequisite for long-term value creation in our industry.

Responsible behaviour is central to TORM’s business and culture. We bring value to our customers by taking their cargo safely to its destination in a responsible manner. Toward our employees we have a great sense of responsibility for their health and safety, not least due to their unique working and living conditions on board a vessel at sea. As for the environment, we seek to limit the impact of our operations.

We have been monitoring our performance on quality and health, safety, security and the environment (HSSE) for many years. More recently we have enhanced our focus on business ethics and responsibility in the supply chain, which will be new focus areas in 2011.

TORM was the first Danish shipping company to sign the UN Global Compact in 2009, and we continue the support of the
10 principles, which remain an important vehicle to document and communicate our CSR efforts.
