Employees The MISC Group employs over 10,000 staff globally, both sea and shore, from va r i ous na t i ona l i t i es . Equ i pp i ng employees with the necessary functional and leadership skills is imperative in order to help them excel at the workplace. Apart from providing various training opportunities, MISC aims to create a highly engaged workplace with an emphasis on performance and excellence. In 2015, there was an i n c r e a s e d f o c u s o n emp l o y e e engagement with more avenues such as Employee Townhalls, “Sembang” Sessions, festive celebrations and family days for both sea and shore staff. Safety is an aspect that is not just important to customers, but also to the Group due to the nature of work carried out. The safety of the Group’s employees is a key concern, and employees are constantly reminded by management to make safety a priority in their daily duties through the various campaigns carried out perennially. Environment The biggest impact to environment is through greenhouse gas emissions, a by-product of the fuel consumption of the Group’s many fleet vessels. Although the shipping industry only emits 2.2% of global emissions, the IMO has introduced regulations to help minimise environmental impact arising from the shipping industry. Apart from meeting IMO regulations, the Group has also undertaken efforts to improve efficiency through the various energy saving initiatives such as the “I Save Fuel” Programme and ISO 50001 Energy Management System for the Group’s f l oa t i ng asse t s .

Community The Group actively seeks ways to leave a positive impact on the communities that we come in touch with.
