Own workforce
At the heart of our organization is a shared commitment to moving energy together—efficiently, sustainably, responsibly, reliably and with purpose. As we continue to evolve and grow, we recognize that our most powerful asset is our people. Every day, across markets and time zones, they bring our purpose to life. It’s their talent, resilience, and ambition that drive our continued success.
Workers in the value chain
Operational responsibility for ensuring the engagement takes place and that its outcomes inform Gunvor’s approach, are held by the Health, Safety, Environment, Human rights and Communities (“HSEC Committee”) Committee which is led up by the Chairman, Chief Operating Officer. All actionable insights taken onboard by the Global Head of Sustainability and Ethics and the Chief Legal Officer.
Affected communities
The nature and severity of Gunvor’s impacts on affected communities can vary significantly depending on the type and location of our operations. In the context of our refining assets (GRI & GER), some of the most direct and commonly experienced impacts involve odour (smell) emissions and noise pollution. These disturbances may fluctuate in frequency and intensity based on the type of industrial activities taking place at any given time—such as maintenance shutdowns and flaring events.
Consumers and end-users
Gunvor Group is committed to upholding the highest standards of integrity, safety, and transparency in its interactions with consumers and end-users of its product commodities and services. Although, we do not directly engage with retail or private consumers, our entity in Germany (Gunvor Deutschland GmbH G.D.G.) made up our only downstream trading operations for 2024, it includes delivery of energy products such as refined petroleum, heating oil, natural gas. This part of our operations necessitates careful stewardship in terms of safety, quality, and customer assurance.
