Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Danish Shipping strives to promote diversity, equality and inclusion (DEI) in the shipping industry, including the DEI Award, which is given to a shipping company or an individual in recognition for mounting a notable effort to promote diversity, equality and inclusion.
Danish Shippings aims to support shipping companies in their efforts to improve diversity, equality and inclusion (also known as DEI) in shipping.
