Corporate Social Responsibility 

Social responsibility has emerged as a concept designed to reduce the adverse impacts of corporate activity on society and the environment. Organizations set a fine standard for themselves, their business operations, and their interaction with a variety of stakeholders; clients, employees, communities, environment, suppliers, regulatory entities, interest groups, and society in general. Social responsibility is therefore the call to integrate social and environmental concerns and the enterprise that places moral duty, transparency, and ethical behavior as a tenable part of any organization’s strategy and long-term objective.  

It deals with challenges such as health, safety, and environmental protection, green supply chain management, green bunkering, the welfare of workers, seamen labor rights, energy efficiency and emissions reduction, and so on.  In GONA understand that although social responsibility is an excellent theme, the maritime industries are adopting the mindset to be more harmonious towards community demands.

The shipping market is going through new challenges, especially tankers.

The year 2023 was a year to sit back and think about the challenges of the coming years. Most shipowners, operators and charterers are closely following all the changes that are happening in the world. Wars, the Panama Canal, the Red Sea and the growing demand for oil and oil products among other related activities are driving up freight rates for an indefinite period of time. Freight rates in tanker markets seem to remain stable with an upward trend, due to the growth of oil consumption and the long distances that some vessels must travel to avoid conflict zones. There is no doubt that in 2024 freight rates, especially in the spot market, will be considerably higher than in previous years.
