Our approach to Sustainability

Our Sustainability actions are guided by what matters most

At the core of our Sustainability approach is the purpose of BW LPG – Delivering energy for a better world.

We are supporting the world’s transition towards cleaner energy, creating value for society and being a reliable partner for our stakeholders.

Sustainability strategy

Our ESG and overall business strategy is centred around creating shared value, aligned with the United Nations Sustainability Development Goals (UN SDGs) through our material topics. 

Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) – for sustainable value creation

We conduct periodic materiality assessments to identify and prioritise the issues that are most relevant to our business, our stakeholders and the societies in which we operate. Ensuring our sustainability priorities are closely aligned with our corporate strategy, enterprise risk management and long-term value creation, our assessment applies a double materiality approach (DMA). This would be done by evaluating both BW LPG’s impacts on the environment and society as well as the financial risks and opportunities that may affect business performance.
