Sustainability

PIL aims to be a sustainable company in the long run by focusing on impacts on the environment, social and economic aspects.

Our Pillars of Sustainability

Since our incorporation in 1967, PIL has always strived to be a responsible member of the global shipping industry, by diligently providing quality sea transportation services to our customers, and taking good care of our employees and the communities where we operate in.

In recent years, we have defined the key focus of our sustainability in three main areas – environmental protection; social contributions and governance best practices.

Looking ahead, we will continue to strengthen our focus and initiatives in these three areas, as we aspire to be a truly sustainable shipping line.

Environmental Protection

We recognise the urgent action needed to significantly reduce our carbon footprint and protect the environment. We are currently pursuing a decarbonisation strategy for our fleet, and at the same time, we have also adopted various improvements to our vessels with the aim of making them more energy efficient and hence emit less greenhouse gases.

Beyond our vessel operations, we are also stepping up environmental management of our land-based operations as well as our offices around the world. We also seek to actively participate in and support environmental-related initiatives in the locations where we operate.

Social Contributions

Since day one, PIL has been a shipping line which places utmost importance on people and relationships. To us, it is essential to focus on the health, safety, security and welfare of our employees, whether on shore or at sea.

With a presence in over 500 locations in 90 countries around the world, we co-exist and interact with many local communities. We therefore also strive hard to make meaningful contributions and a positive impact on the lives of our local community stakeholders.

Governance Best Practices

We are first and foremost a commercial entity, and we understand that doing business with integrity and abiding by all applicable laws and regulations are expected of us. By adopting good corporate governance in every aspect of our business, we would earn the trust and respect of all our stakeholders and our communities.
