Provide healthy, safe and secure work environments so that people can enjoy rewarding careers and achieve their full potential

The systemic challenges faced by seafarers and other workers across the shipping value chain create labour and human rights risks, as well as mental health and safety concerns. Training and career development support combined with equal, diverse and inclusive work environments lay the foundation for fulfilling shipping careers, which is the focus of Vision area 3.
