ORGANISATION AND WORK PROCESSES
We utilise the Inbisco tool to streamline our work processes and leverage the OGSM framework (Objectives, Goals, Strategies, and Measures) as a guiding structure for our five-year strategic cycle. Demonstrating our dedication to integrating sustainability across the organisation, we are embedding it within both our operational workflows and strategic planning frameworks.
Inbisco
Our critical business processes and their associated risks are documented in Inbisco, our quality management system. This platform provides a comprehensive overview of our operations, highlighting potential risks alongside the measures required to mitigate them. By conducting process-based risk assessments, we can prioritise audits on actual risks rather than merely ensuring procedural compliance.
However, further alignment between our corporate risk assessments and the business risk inventory is essential. Strengthening this connection will enhance our ability to respond proactively to changes, risks, and opportunities in our dynamic industry.
In 2024, we made significant progress in embedding ESG roadmaps within Inbisco, which included identifying related risks and defining mitigating actions. Supporting this effort, one of our colleagues completed a graduation project focusing on integrating ESG into our governance structure. A key takeaway from this project emphasised the need for interventions to promote more sustainable behaviour; introducing an internal CO2 price could serve as one such impactful measure.
OGSM
Each year, we refine our strategy using the OGSM framework, with sustainability firmly established as a strategic pillar for our company’s success. Reporting is conducted monthly, while the management committee meets quarterly to review and discuss overall progress.
ISO certification
We hold the following ISO certifications:
- ISO 9001:2015 (Quality Management)
- ISO 14001:2015 (Environmental Management)
- ISO 45001:2015 (Occupational Health and Safety)
Our compliance with these standards is audited annually by DNV. In 2024, we successfully completed all audits, reaffirming our commitment to quality, efficiency, and continuous improvement. These certifications demonstrate our adherence to internationally recognised best practices and our ongoing efforts to maintain the highest industry standards.
Progress
In 2025, we will establish a benchmark process to define our long-term organisational goals for 2030 and 2035 in this area.
OGSM
In 2023, we further sharpened and implemented our 2021-2025 strategy and actions in this OGSM tool. Sustainability is embedded in our corporate OGSM as one of the goals is related to our environmental strategy and another to our social strategy. We still have work to do to embed this topic in departments OGSMs.
In 2023 we installed OGSM ambassadors who support the owners and they discuss progress on the OGSM tool every 2 or 3 months. The progress and KPI’s of the company OGSM and each department OGSM are discussed with the MC every quarter.
ISO Certification
We hold the following ISO certifications:
- ISO 9001: 2015
- ISO 14001: 2015
- ISO 45001: 2015
Our certifications are audited annually by DNV, and we successfully completed these audits in 2023.
This successful audit, which evaluates our ship management and operations against internationally recognised standards, reaffirms our unwavering commitment to quality, efficiency, and continuous improvement.
Our compliance with the ISO standards demonstrates our commitment to maintaining the highest industry benchmarks.
