The maritime industry needs to increasingly work together to retain existing talent, and not least of all, attract new talent. In order to achieve this, the All Aboard Alliance sets out to provide a strong platform for collaborative and ambitious action across the industry.
With a strong community of action, industry leaders actively work together on making their companies – and the overall industry – more diverse, equitable, and inclusive now. Launched in May 2022, the Alliance is supported by Founding Knowledge Partners: Global Maritime Forum, Diversity Study Group, and Swiss Re, introducing a diversity, equity, and inclusion framework.
In that regard, the All Aboard Alliance is designed around five principles:
- Appoint a business sponsor to lead and ensure accountability of diversity, equity, and inclusion within the organization
- Equip and educate people to understand their role in fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive workplace – from senior leaders through to line managers and team members
- Create and maintain an organizational culture of equity and belonging where everyone has equal opportunities to contribute and to thrive
- Capture relevant data and develop insights to evaluate progress and to evolve strategic objectives
- Communicate commitment and progress externally on an annual basis
Members of the alliance commit to self-access and report progress on the aforementioned five principles on a annual basis.
The search for news talents, the expectation of external stakeholders to move forward with ESG issues and the need for innovation to deal with industry’s transition are industry’s three major challenges and the motivation behind the new alliance.
