Get the Idwal Social Impact Report
Idwal's Social Impact Report shares the social welfare findings from our vessel inspections, highlighting both positive practices and areas that require improvement. By shining a light on these critical social issues, our aim is to drive tangible progress in valuing seafarers as true partners in the industry's sustainable development.
As a leading provider of independent maritime inspections, Idwal has visibility on the critical issue of seafarer wellbeing at the vessel level and, through our inspection data, covering over 15% of the global fleet, we've gained unparalleled insights into the living and working conditions of seafarers worldwide.
Building on this unique dataset, we've developed a comprehensive Social Impact Score to objectively evaluate the social welfare standards across the maritime industry. This assessment covers 10 key pillars of seafarer wellbeing, from connectivity and recreation to admin and training, and is brought together in this Social Impact Report.
