THE MISSION TO SEAFARERS LAUNCHES CORPORATE PARTNERSHIP PORTFOLIO
At its seminar during Posidonia, The Mission to Seafarers today launched its much anticipated Corporate Partnership Portfolio which outlines it’s suggestions for how the maritime industry can deliver on corporate social responsibility and describes how The Mission, and more widely the shipping community, can support practical seafarers’ welfare projects.
The 32 page document details key areas that are vital for the operations The Mission carries out: corporate social responsibility; its network of branches; corporate partnership, support it receives and employee engagement. As well as these, the Corporate Partnership Portfolio offers a comprehensive guide to the work The Mission has achieved, and also showcases specific sponsorship and corporate partnership opportunities.
Talking about the importance of the Corporate Partnership Portfolio Andrew Wright, Secretary General to The Mission, said: “This document signals an important move to showcase the work we achieve, while at the same time raising awareness of the issues that depend on the shipping industry’s support and generosity.
Raising funds is extremely challenging and we are deeply grateful to the support we receive in our work. Seafarers need our help. Life at sea is often dangerous and demanding. Our service to them meets a very real need and it changes thousands of lives for the better.
Andrew Wright, Secretary General, The Mission.
