Our vision is to improve the nature of shipping. Our legacy is to challenge status quo, and much of our success has been, and is linked to finding new ways to improve technology and business models in shipping. The vision provides direction and guiding along three dimensions: IMPROVING We always look for new solutions NATURE Our ambition is to improve the very nature of the business we are in SHIPPING Shipping is our market and where we can make a difference Our values define what we stand for and what you can expect from us Craftsmanship We know our business in detail: Constantly update and renew competence Deliver as promised Build and contribute to teams Keep it simple Integrity We act on our principles Ethics before profits Be honest Express your concerns Address problems Commitment We see through cycles See lasting solutions Never bet the company Support the customer Never give up Curiosity We challenge established thinking Ask questions Look for new solutions Share with and build on insights of others Try a little, learn a lot Commitment to compliance Klaveness’ vision is to improve the nature of shipping and our ambition is to contribute to developing the standard for compliance in our industry. Klaveness Code of Conduct Our Code of Conduct defines our core legal and ethical standards and applies to all Klaveness directors, officers and employees, both on shore and on board our vessels. The code provides a framework for Klaveness’ governance, and defines the most important principles and ethical norms that form the basis for how we create value in Klaveness and conduct our business. These principles and values are implemented in our governance documents. KLAVENESS CODE OF CONDUCT Klaveness Counterparty Code of Conduct Our Counterparty Code of Conduct defines the core legal and ethical standards we expect from our subcontractors, contractual counterparties and others we do business with. The code applies to all our contractual relationships through standard documents and clauses. KLAVENESS COUNTERPARTY CODE OF CONDUCT Reporting of concerns (whistleblowing) Torvald Klaveness promotes a culture of openness and transparency. This is important for both the overall work environment and the well-being of the individual employee. Moreover, it is a key to optimal business operations. We therefore encourage whistleblowing regarding blameworthy activities or circumstances within our business. Employees and others who have reason to believe that there are blameworthy activities or circumstances (e.g. breach of applicable legislation) within our business have the right to and are encouraged to whistleblow. The same applies if they have reason to believe that there is a violation of Klaveness Code of Conduct. Employees who give notification in accordance with Section 2-4 of the Norwegian Working Environment Act and Klaveness Guidelines for Whistleblowing shall be protected against any unfavorable treatment as a reaction to the whistleblowing (“retaliation”). You can choose to be anonymous. In such case you will automatically be given a username and password so that you can log in to see the status of your case and securely communicate with the case handler. At any stage during the case handling you may also choose to reveal your identity. WHISTLEBLOWING WHISTLEBLOWING FOR CREW Membership in the Maritime Anti-Corruption Network (MACN) The Maritime Anti-Corruption Network is a global business network working towards the vision of a maritime industry free of corruption that enables fair trade to the benefit of society at large.
