Sustainable Development Goals

As a leading provider of catering and hospitality services, we acknowledge the significance of environmental responsibility and social consciousness. Our sustainability initiatives are geared towards fostering a resilient future for the seas and the global community.

Zero Hunger

At BSM Catering Services, our philosophy centres around prioritising people in all our endeavours. With a crew of over 20,000 international seafarers, we take on the responsibility and pledge to safeguard their health and promote overall wellbeing. Central to this commitment is our focus on safe and nutritious food.

We actively engage and educate our catering crews aboard vessels in menu planning and effective food waste management. This proactive approach aims to minimise waste, ensuring the efficient utilisation of all available provisions onboard. We provide wholesome meals within a hospitable and hygienic environment, contributing to the physical and mental health of our seafarers.

Simultaneously, we uphold our commitment to timely provision deliveries onboard our vessels, ensuring that no one is left without an adequate quantity of provisions

Water filtration for seafarers

Dedicated to seafarers' wellbeing, we have implemented state-of-the-art water filtration systems on board. These systems guarantee access to clean and safe drinking water, fostering the health and welfare of our valued crew members.

In line with our commitment to environmental stewardship, we strive to reduce the use of single-use plastics throughout our operations. By introducing reusable alternatives and advocating responsible waste disposal practices, we contribute to reducing our environmental footprint.

Our sustainability initiatives are built on principles of accountability and transparency. We believe that, together, we can instigate a lasting positive impact on the maritime industry, paving the way for a more sustainable and resilient future.
