Corporate Social Responsibility

CSR is a commitment shared by Baleària as a whole and represents the company's pledge to support sustainable development, creating added value by responding to the economic, environmental and social needs and desires of our stakeholders.

 

We have a Business Conduct and Ethics Code that reflects the company's formal commitment to acting with integrity, responsibility and respect for the different interest groups. The text, aimed at everyone linked to any of the companies in the Baleària Group, is based on its mission, vision and values. In addition, there is a committee that ensures that this code is disseminated and complied with.

Baleària, as a member of the Global Compact, prepares an annual Sustainability Report under the guidelines of the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) to inform the different stakeholders, as well as society in general, of the progress made in the commitments undertaken. However, we have reinforced our commitment to sustainability by incorporating the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into our activities. In this way, the SDGs become our scorecard guiding us on the path towards becoming the corporate citizen that we want to be.

In addition, the Business School has been set up to offer conferences, seminars and occupational or ongoing training courses that support the professional and personal development of Baleària's employees and attract professionals who want to work for the shipping company.
