Gard aims to be a responsible corporate citizen, engaging in partnerships, philanthropy, and charitable giving. We believe we can achieve the best results by applying our resources and expertise to solving problems we understand and in which we have a stake. We therefore have a specific focus on marine issues, while at the same time striving to have a positive impact on the communities in which we operate.
Gard partnerships
We engage in a series of partnerships across the globe, all based on our business strategy and our sustainability goals. Gard is a partner to the UN Global Compact, the Maritime Anti-Corruption Network and the Global Maritime Forum, among others.
Gard corporate donations
Gard also has a long tradition of contributing to local communities. In particular, we have focused on education and training, culture and the environment. We believe in sharing knowledge and expertise to continuously raise standards and improve learning. Twice a year, Gard makes donations to organisations or charitable causes that share this view.
