The following environmental and social metrics quantify material emissions, discharges and workplace impacts from our operations. We have tracked these for several years and they mainly represent normal, effcient operations.

1 Our carbon emissions have been calculated using the industry-standard ship Energy Efficiency Operational Indicator (EEOI) method since 2013. 2012 carbon emissions are based on an earlier CO2 Index formula.
2 Emissions from our headquarter office consumption and activities includes emissions from staff commuting and business air travel, air conditioning, lighting and computer and office equipment, as well as paper and fresh water consumption (audit period: July 2015 to June 2016).
3 In 2016, we purchased more low sulphur marine gas oil (and no low sulphur fuel oil or marine diesel oil) in order to meet emission regulations limiting fuel sulphur content to no more than 0.1% in designated emission control areas where our ships frequently trade.
4 In 2015, the fatal fall of an Indian stevedore who entered a cargo hold without authorisation was deemed to be outside our scope of responsibility. Two deaths in 2012 were non-work related, including one of natural causes.
