Social & Good Causes
Support local projects & charities
We support a wide range of charities and local projects every year, all chosen by our local teams. We want to make a difference where it matters most and ensure we can support worthwhile causes which have a positive impact. This year we are already working to support and partner with a range of programmes and charities which will benefit micro-businesses, young kids and environmental projects.
Local Initiatives
Jobs for the Future
Skills, learning & development
As the maritime industry continues to thrive, ports and the wider sector create growth through investment, bringing employment to the community and as most jobs are physically located on or near the port estate, these provide long-term, stable roles for local people. The extensive variety of jobs provides many opportunities for apprenticeships, on-the-job academic learning, and a varied career for life.
Everyone Welcome
Equality, diversity & inclusion
There’s no denying there is a big challenge in our industry around equality, diversity and inclusion. We’re committed to tackling this head-on, to ensure we’re moving towards a future where everyone from our communities is represented. We have a dedicated team developing our equality, diversity and inclusion strategy which centres around 4 key areas – gender, ethnicity, ability and identity.
Our World
Net zero & the environment
We care about the environment and we are working to minimise the impact of our operations; from committing to becoming carbon neutral by 2040, to developing innovation strategies designed to find sustainable solutions, through to our use of HVO fuels and the enabling the development of renewable energy across all sites, all our past and future investments take into account our wider sustainable agenda.
