Working on initiatives, big and small, to reduce climate impact from operations.

Reducing climate impact from operations

We reduce greenhouse emissions from our operations directly and indirectly, and advance the cleaner-energy transition in the industry. We reduce emissions from operations by ensuring voyage optimisation and weather routing. We limit harmful gas and water emissions, and minimise waste generation.

 

To ensure efficient energy management, our approach includes multiple onboard-energy monitoring systems, physical enhancements to the vessels, and continuous training and awareness for our onshore staff and crew. We also track and forecast vessel emissions intensities through data triangulation and address detected deviations. 

Social

We believe that LPG as a cleaner-burning fuel can uplift communities.

At BW LPG India, we believe that energy can uplift communities. We are confident that a world propelled by LPG will be a sustainable one for tomorrow’s generations.

Corporate Governance

We conduct our business with high ethical standards and in compliance with relevant laws, and we ask for the same standards from our business partners.

Beyond compliance, we ensure strict internal governance in our business practices. We follow established gatekeeping procedures when we debate strategic business decisions. We have clear and transparent procurement practices. And we enforce and audit operational policies at sea and on shore.

Anti-Bribery and Anti-Corruption

We follow proper procedures when we operate in areas where risks of bribery and corruption are high. We provide training for crew and employees, and make our position on bribery and corruption clear to business partners. We also participate in industry efforts to stamp out bribery and corrupt practices.
