Marine”), a leading provider of marine and support transportation
services to offshore oil and natural gas and wind farm facilities

to oversee the Company’s enhanced Environmental, Social and
Governance (ESG) program. In conjunction with today’s announcement,
SEACOR Marine’s Sustainability Council has published an ESG
presentation (https://ir.seacormarine.com/events-and-presentations)
and launched a new section of the Company’s website
(https://seacormarine.com/esg) to highlight both SEACOR Marine’s
track record of sustainable practices, as well as its future plans
to further enhance its ESG efforts.
The Sustainability Council is an internal
committee that will report to the SEACOR Marine Board of Director’s
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and includes senior
executives, operational heads, and safety and health, compliance
and human resources professionals. The group will collaborate and
drive initiatives on all matters related to sustainability,
including but not limited to environmental protection, clean energy
technology, social responsibility, employee, contractor and
community health and safety, and community empowerment. Together
with the Board, the Sustainability Council will help establish
sustainability goals and integrate them into strategic and tactical
business activities across the Company to contribute to risk
management and long-term value for all stakeholders.
The Company also announced today that it has
received certification for the International Organization for
Standardization’s (ISO) Environmental Management standard ISO
14001:2015 and Occupational Health and Safety Management standard
ISO 45001:2018. This expands on the ISO 9001 certification the
Company previously received.
Chief Executive Officer John Gellert commented:
“We are proud to be taking these next steps in our corporate
responsibility and ESG efforts. As a company with a global reach
and one that serves offshore energy, we recognize that
sustainability has become a core focus for our customers,
investors, employees, and the communities where we operate. SEACOR
Marine has a role to play in supporting sustainable practices, and
we understand the importance of building upon our commitment to
ensuring safe and reliable transportation services through an
energy-efficient fleet.”
Mr. Gellert continued: “I look forward to
working closely with the other members of the Sustainability
Council. This group will be instrumental in advancing the progress
we have already made by implementing policies, strategies and
innovative solutions that reduce our environmental footprint and
promote positive impacts on the communities we serve.”
Going forward, the Company will continue to
provide updates on its sustainability program and
accomplishments.
