Our Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion
The people at Samskip are as diverse as the seas and lands we travel. We cherish the unique backgrounds, cultures, and perspectives that our team members bring. It is this beautiful blend of viewpoints, ideas, and tactics that has made Samskip a true global powerhouse. We are committed to safeguarding, embracing, and nurturing these differences, knowing that they only serve to strengthen our organisation and community. By valuing diversity and inclusion, we are not only making Samskip a better place to work, but also contributing to the creation of a more equitable world for future generations. Internally, one crucial step we are taking is working towards achieving parity in various diversity categories our organisational operations.
There is still a long way to go, but together, we are building a brighter and more sustainable future, one that is inclusive and upholds human rights and the richness of human diversity.
Some steps taken to achieve this include:
Recruitment and Equal Opportunity
In line with our commitment to fairness and equality, we strive to maintain equal opportunity practices in all aspects of our talent management. This includes personnel management, promotion, wages, training opportunities, and of course, recruitment. As an equal opportunity employer, gender identity, race or ethnic origins, religion or belief, age, and sexual orientation all do not influence our decision when evaluating candidates for any role across all levels.

Anti-Discrimination and Harassment
Every single person deserves to feel safe, respected, and valued. We take inclusivity, anti-discrimination, and anti-harassment very seriously at Samskip, with specific actions and procedures dedicated to protecting our employees from inappropriate conduct.
We have a Whistleblowing Procedure in place across all our operations, such that individuals can speak up and report any instances of discriminatory or harassing behaviour.
Samskip knows that reports coming from whistle blowers are dealt with appropriately, and with the utmost care.
The total number of incidents of discrimination reported in the year 2022 is 0. We remain acutely aware that this number may not reflect reality. It may extend from poor communication regarding the policy or from Samskip employees not being comfortable using it. We remain conscious of these potential issues, particularly the latter, so we seek to ensure every single individual at Samskip knows that reports coming from whistle-blowers are dealt appropriately, with utmost care. Our human resources department conducts full investigations that, when deemed necessary, can end in disciplinary action for parties involved. For those in our Iceland operations, we have also set up an anti-bullying committee that can provides extra support and resources for anyone who needs it and remains wary of reporting.
