Supporting The Shipowners Club to Measure Impact

In 2021, BiGGAR Economics worked with The Shipowners Club to help its journey toward a more sustainable future.

The Shipowners’ Club plays a vital role in protecting the safe working of seafarers and ships, providing indemnity to ship owners and supporting seafarers’ safety and wellbeing. It is a mutual insurance association that offers Protection & Indemnity (P&I), Legal Costs Cover and insurances to smaller and specialist vessel owners, operators and charterers around the world.

In 2019, the Shipowners Club began to develop its corporate responsibility strategy, reflecting its interest in creating social value and environmental benefits. The strategy focused on seven core areas: governance, human rights, labour practices, environment, fair operating practices, consumer issues, and community involvement. Shipowners asked BiGGAR Economics to help identify how to measure its progress and impact.

Working closely with colleagues at Shipowners, we identified how Corporate Responsibility activities would create change, impacting on society and the environment, and how these would change over time. We developed a logic model to describe how these changes will be brought to life, and established a measurement framework. This defined the quantitative summary of activity that covered the Club’s internal and external operations based on areas such as health and wellbeing of staff and seafarers, diversity in the workplace, productivity, stakeholder ethics and trust and satisfaction of Members.

The Shipowners Club has recently published its first Corporate Responsibility report highlighting its journey towards a more sustainable future. This can be accessed via the link below:
