Introduction - Why CSR?
• Nippon/IAMU has emphasised the importance
•
•
for addressing CSR.
Scientists agree that climate change is human
created. There is enough evidence of this for
politicans and businesses to act accordingly.
Universities also need to react to this evidence –
natural and social sciences - Hard and soft skills.
Provide knowledgeable students –
Provide research for informed decisions.
Introduction - Some action
•
•
•
•
•
Knowledge in CSR/sustainability might be introduced in
MET as a separate programme:
Australian Maritime College (Bachelor’s degree in Marine
Engineering with specialization in Sustainable Design and Risk)
Memorial University of Newfoundland in Canada (Bachelor’s degree
in Sustainable Aquaculture in Fisheries).
Or as integrated in programmes: Bremen created a CSR e-learning
module, WMU launching new Corporate Social Responsibility
module
GOOD, but, we need more education and frameworks to
talk about CSR in the maritime industry
Framework: Understanding Key CSR

Perception survey-seafarer/company/authority
The World Maritime University is conducting a survey of educational needs in relation to Corporate Social Responsibility, Safety and culture
an how this affects team performance in the maritime industry.
We are doing this together with Bremen University of Applied Sciences and a private Consultant called Dr. Maria Progoulaki from
University of Aegean, Greece.
The project is funded by the International Associations Maritime Universities (IAME).
Your answers will provide us with vital knowledge needs to consider when creating this course.
Your answers will be anonymous and will not be traced back to you.
If you would like to provide comments explaining your answers or additional feedback for us, feel free to use the comments box.
Thank you for participating in this survey; it should only take about 15 minutes to provide us with your feedback.
If you have any questions or would like further information, please contact Project Manager Dr. Lisa L. Froholdt [email protected], +4640356375

WP 3: pre. Findings CSR
• CSR is not understood as a concept by most
•
•
•
seafarers, but they recognise the actions
behind it.
CSR is not part of curriculum or company
strategy.
CSR is big in Manila (Baskin 2006), environment
relief, soup kitchens, family services(Chapple &
Moon 2005).
CSR- philanthropic character(Carroll1991;1999).

Recommendations design: open
comments Companies
• ”Has to be free of charge or they won’t do it”
• ”Design with a deadline to finish-make short”
• ”Do the course bilingual”
• ”It has to be mandatory or they won’t do it”
• ”Design with retests of knowledge – children
•
arent taught to recall, retention is therefore
low, they forget what they learn”
”Design it with pictures of consequences of
i.e. Not using a helmet, falling down a hatch”

employers should pay for education”

during interviews), videos, podcasts.
