COPE° Working group on Psychological Safety, Bullying and Sexual Assault and Harassment in the Maritime Sector

The COPE° working group on Psychological Safety, Bullying and Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment in the Maritime Sector was created in 2022 to address this major issue within the maritime sector. The group consists of people from all over the world, bringing together a wide variety of perspectives and experiences, yet with one common goal: to make a difference.

By ensuring that all participants are able to use their voices and be heard, the working group’s collaborative and inclusive approach to problem solving has proven to be effective.

The working group is committed to influence change in the maritime sector, driven by ethical and humanitarian values.

  • Integrating vulnerable and marginalized groups, in support of diversity, equality, equity, inclusion and acceptance;
  • Building on a psychologically safe workplace culture in the maritime sector;
  • Examining and supporting active responses to issues related to sexual assault, harassment and bullying in the maritime sector;
  • Supporting and honouring mariners globally; and
  • Transparency and integrity

Organizations and individuals who would like to join the working group are encouraged to reach out to Ms. Eva Lianne Veldkamp via the button below.
