This year's Annual Review reports strong financial results, continued strategic progress and enhanced support for shipowners operating in an increasingly complex and uncertain global environment.

That means supporting the people, organisations and environments around us in ways that are genuinely impactful.
Whether it’s through volunteering, grants for local projects, matched funding, or employee-nominated donations to charitable causes, we are dedicated to creating meaningful change in our communities.
Working together to create lasting change
Giving back is embedded in our culture and how we operate.
Our impact is ultimately about people, the organisations we support, the communities we work in, and the role our colleagues play in making positive change happen.
Created with our charity partner, Ngage, to showcase some of these partnerships and stories in action.
Making the greatest difference where it matters most
We focus where our support can have real impact.
That means building long-term relationships with charities and organisations that share our core values and have a wide community reach, including:
Supporting seafarers and organisations working to protect lives at sea - because this is at the heart of our industry.
Creating access, opportunity, and resilience where it’s needed.
Helping people live healthier lives and supporting wellbeing in practical ways.
Protecting ocean health and supporting programmes that safeguard our natural world.
Our charity partners span the globe, but their work is always rooted in the unique needs of their local communities.
Some are tackling food insecurity. Others are improving social mobility, protecting marine ecosystems, or supporting those working at sea. What connects them is a shared focus on delivering real outcomes.
We support our partners through funding, volunteering, and long-term collaboration - building relationships that last rather than one-off contributions.
Creating meaningful impact takes more than good intentions. It needs focus, consistency, and accountability.
Every partnership and funding decision follows a clear, robust process using defined criteria and appropriate due diligence.
This makes sure our support is well governed, matched with our priorities, and directed where it has the greatest effect.
If you’re making a difference, we want to hear from you
We’re always looking to support organisations that are delivering a positive impact in our focus areas.

This summer, NorthStandard’s CSR Team hosted two special Celebrating Community Impact events in London and Newcastle, bringing together a range of charity partners to share their work, strengthen connections, and celebrate the positive difference being made in communities across the UK.
The events provided an opportunity for organisations working in different sectors to learn from one another, exchange ideas, and showcase the impact of their programmes.
They also highlighted the power of collaboration in addressing a wide range of social challenges, from supporting vulnerable communities and improving access to employment, to enhancing wellbeing and providing practical assistance to those in need.
