The purpose of this thesis is to study the ESG Principles, their response and incorporation by shipping companies, as well as the corresponding management of their human resources, to promote wellness, safety and health for seafarers. In general , the human factor is one of the most significant factors in the shipping industry. Empowering and supporting seafarers can lead to increased performance and reduction in accidents, making the human factor crucial to the sustainability and growth of the shipping industry. Taking care of seafarers' welfare is not only morally right but also business smart, as it leads to improved performance, safety, and enhanced staff retention.
