At BW LPG, corporate social responsibility is rooted in our belief that long-term success is inseparable from the well-being of the communities in which we operate. In India, our CSR initiatives focus on access to nutrition, education, gender inclusion and cleaner energy solutions – contributing to stronger, more resilient communities.
Chartering a more inclusive future for maritime careers
To encourage more women to pursue careers in the maritime sector, where female representation remains limited, the BW LPG India launched the Female Cadets Scholarship Programme in 2021, offering scholarships at the Indian Maritime University – for 33 cadets in 2025. By providing financial support, the initiative helps female cadets focus on academic excellence without the burden of financial hardship while fostering a more inclusive pathway into seafaring careers.
Energy that powers nutrition and education
BW LPG India is proud to continue its partnership with the Akshaya Patra Foundation to help address hunger and malnutrition among schoolchildren – key barriers to education that contribute to low enrolment, absenteeism and early school dropouts.
The company sponsors the energy needs of school kitchens by providing clean-burning LPG-fuelled cooking equipment. Furthermore, BW LPG India supported the installation of LPG-fuelled industrial curry-making machines at Akshaya Patra’s centralised kitchen, serving over 50,000 nutritious meals each day for children, significantly improving cooking efficiency, hygiene standards, and operational reliability.
