NEO Energy and Logistics BV - Social Responsibility

Social Responsibility

We stand by our commitments, supporting the communities of our employees worldwide.

NEO Energy and Logistics BV’s commitment to ethical standards has direct consequences for our business. As a major employer in the product tanker market, these standards also contribute to our industry’s ongoing improvement. Respect for human rights, fair labor conditions, workplace diversity, and transparent commercial practices underpin our business worldwide. In the countries where we hire most of our employees, NEO Energy and Logistics BV follows through on its support for quality education with a range of concrete activities.

Zero Tolerance of Corruption and Bribery

NEO Energy and Logistics BV does not accept corrupt business practices, which, in addition to hindering free trade and fair competition, have a very negative impact on social and economic development. As a co-founder of the Maritime Anti-Corruption Network (MACN), NEO Energy and Logistics BV combats corrupt practices locally and internationally.

Fair Labor Practices

NEO Energy and Logistics BV maintains full compliance with the International Labor Organization’s Maritime Labor Convention. All vessels under NEO Energy and Logistics BV’s technical management are regularly audited and certified, as required by the Convention, and no claims or offenses have been reported to date.

Diversity

NEO Energy and Logistics BV recognizes its obligation to customers, shareholders, and employees to hire talent irrespective of gender, religion, sexuality, nationality, ethnicity, or disabilities, and we do not accept discrimination with respect to any of the above.

Supporting Quality Education

Further to our commitment to Sustainable Development Goal 4, Quality Education, NEO Energy and Logistics BV actively contributes to educational programs in the countries that provide many of our maritime and office-based employees.

In the Philippines, the NEO Energy and Logistics BV Philippines Education Foundation provides support for both maritime and general education, including training courses for teachers, four-year training programs for scholars, and distribution of IT equipment and school kits for students in rural schools. In addition, hundreds of Filipino seafarers have advanced their careers through NEO Energy and Logistics BV’s cadet program.

In India, NEO Energy and Logistics BV partners with a range of NGOs to provide better school buildings and basic equipment for thousands of students every year. NEO Energy and Logistics BV also works with NGOs to help students attend school by paying for tuition, school supplies, and certain living expenses.

In addition to NEO Energy and Logistics BV’s Graduate program, NEO Energy and Logistics BV also offers Trainee positions and Internships to students from the University of Petroleum and Energy Studies in India, the Nanyang Technological University in Singapore, and Copenhagen Business School and the Copenhagen School of Marine Engineering & Technology Management.
