Despite the challenges faced, our efforts and commitment to sustainability have not wavered. We place evermore importance on the safety and development of our people in this dynamically changing situation.

The CEO’s Message
Olav Nortun
Chief Executive Officer
It is with immense pleasure that I present Thome's first voluntary sustainability report which showcases our commitment to a more sustainable future. The year 2020 has been filled with many unprecedented changes and challenges for the ship management industry and in spite of this, Thome has voluntarily reported on its sustainability performance to monitor and report our progress to meet the UN Sustainable Development Goals. At Thome, we believe that being transparent allows us to consider our impacts on various sustainability issues and stakeholders, mitigate any risks and tap into new opportunities.
In 2020, our Business Continuity Plan has allowed the Group to continue functioning within the limitations set by various countries around the world. An internal pandemic committee was set up to address the various challenges which has affected crew changeovers during the COVI D-19 pandemic. Against this backdrop, I am pleased to report that we have not only continued to be a reliable partner but also prioritised the safety and wellbeing of our seafarers at the same time. We were decisive in immediately forming an Emergency Response Team to deal with the challenges faced by managed vessels and crew.
