ESG Strategy & Targets
At BW, we believe that a robust ESG strategy is key to creating a positive impact on our communities and environment. We have instituted a variety of short- and long-term goals and expectations for ourselves across three key categories – people, property, and corporate commitment. We remain tireless in our pursuit of achieving these goals.
People & Culture
Safety, Health and Well-being
Focus Area:
• We are committed to providing safe workplaces and promoting holistic well-being with a healthy work-life balance.
• We also hold our supply chain to the same standards – our Supplier Code of Conduct ensures contractor employees receive equivalent protection.
Our Approach:
• Prioritize zero-harm outcomes across all BW-managed sites and contractor operations, supported by our HSE management system and periodic reviews.
• Work towards formalizing an employee well-being program, with the intention to track participation and report on outcomes as the program develops.
Diversity & Inclusion
Focus Area: As BW grows, so does our commitment to fostering a workplace that embraces diversity and remains free from discrimination in all forms.
Our Approach:
• Deepen an inclusive workplace that reflects our strong gender diversity.
• Disclose workforce composition metrics as reporting practices mature.
Community Investment
Focus Area:
• Giving back is the core of who we are.
• An important element of our corporate culture is creating lasting positive impact in the communities where we live and operate.
Our Approach: Direct community investment toward education and environmental initiatives.
Talent Attractions, Retention & Training
Focus Area: We sponsor programs to invest in tomorrow’s leaders. BW aspires to be an Employer of Choice by:
• Fostering a culture of active learning
• Creating clear, transparent career progression paths
• Offering competitive total rewards, life insurance, retirement, and social security contributions
• Actively seeking and acting on employee feedback
Our Approach:
• Expand ESG-related training programs, tracking and disclosing participation as our reporting practices mature.
