LOOKING OUT FOR EACH OTHER

Safety & Environment

At GSM, we approach every single day with a strong focus on safety and sustainability in the ports and terminals and in our offices. It is our responsibility to create a safe and sustainable work environment for our people, our customers and the communities in which we live. We believe in consistently looking for new and better ways to reach our goals and to push for excellence. GSM is always focused on ensuring that every person goes home safely at the end of the day and constantly seeks out ways to minimize or eliminate any environmental impact by better managing our resources.

Environment

We are ever mindful of our impact on the environment around us. We are focused on implementing changes — both big and small — that protect this most valuable resource. Our people actively participate in efforts to conserve our natural resources. We focus our environmental sustainability work in two key areas where we believe we can have the greatest positive impact – water conservation and energy efficiency.
