Classification society DNV recently spoke to Singapore-based turbocharger maintenance company Tru-Marine to discuss the company’s Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) roadmap in the second episode of DNV’s Decarbonization Insights series.
Even though ESG is not a requirement for a small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) like Tru-Marine, the firm saw itself as part of the maritime value chain and believed embarking in an ESG journey early enough would bring a significant competitive advantage to the business it was driving.
Tru-Marine’s tailored ESG roadmap, developed in close coordination with DNV experts, is grounded in international standards and best practices such as those established by the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB).
In this session, DNV shared its role in providing comprehensive management training to Tru-Marine, conducted a peer benchmarking exercise to identify key material topics within the maritime industry and materiality assessment involving both internal and external stakeholders.
The process led to DNV developing a comprehensive roadmap for the company and continues to provide ongoing support.
Through this systematic approach, Tru-Marine has been able to address critical ESG challenges, boost operational efficiency, and strengthen market competitiveness—while actively contributing to the maritime industry’s decarbonization efforts.
