Corporate social responsibility

The fragility of the surrounding ecosystems and the potential impact from the operations have long since been acknowledged, and Ultragas has taken numerous initiatives aimed towards minimizing the operational footprint on air, sea, and land resources.
 
Corporate governance is an important tool to drive sustainability and stable growth by amongst others encouraging the use of best practices, the empowerment and integrity of staff, and adopting fundamental safeguards in the management of all activities.
 
Ultragas’s definition of a good social performance is to ensure that all employees grow in their capacities together with the business, in developing the shipping community around vessels and offices, by pushing vendors to provide better work practices throughout the supply chain, and by working to be closer to clients around the world.
 
The baseline for the initiatives encompassed in environmental performance continues to be the industry standard provided by the adhesion to MARPOL, covering prevention of pollution of the marine environment. Ultragas continues to be part of the Trident Alliance, constantly pushing for the reduction of sulphur emissions. The Ultranav Group has joined the Getting to Zero Coalition in the pursuit of a full decarbonization of the shipping industry by 2050.
 

Ultragas and the entire Ultranav Group support in various ways different charity and non-profit organisations. Whilst the Group is established globally, its roots and hence the majority of its charity activities are based in the Americas, and focus remains on supporting the areas in most need where we are active in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Peru and Uruguay.
