Prepping A Future-Ready Fleet

I am proud to say that Eastern Pacific Shipping Pte Ltd (EPS) is one of the first private companies to publicly report its carbon dioxide emissions. Our carbon dioxide emissions report is reviewed in January for the previous calendar year and released shortly after. We manage one of the largest private fleets globally and what we do affects the industry, our stakeholders, and our people. We also have an impact on the communities where we operate and on the environment. To be accountable to all these parties, we implemented the EPS Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) Policy. This policy, along with our code of business conduct and various other policies, are evaluated regularly to ensure that we are not only compliant with the latest regulations, but also that they remain aligned with our values.

When doing this, it’s important for us to be focused but also flexible. Things change, and we need to be able to adapt quickly. By doing so, we can continue our sustainability journey realistically and pragmatically. That’s why we take a methodical and responsible approach towards lowering our carbon footprint and making real change.

A CULTURE OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION

Although the ESG Policy was implemented in 2019, environmental protection has always been part of the EPS culture. Since our inception, we have adhered to an internal Environment Protection Policy that applies to all we do at sea.
