Social responsibility is embedded in every aspect of our business.

Our human resources practice focuses on the fair and just treatment of our employees and crew, providing everyone with equal opportunities for professional development and career advancement.

We offer a healthy and safe working environment on board our managed vessels and ashore. From the rigorous way we implement safety policies to the quality of the food served on board and at our head office, everything is tuned toward the well-being of the company’s personnel and crew.

We constantly monitor Key Performance Indicators on employee work conditions, such as Lost-Time Injury Frequency (LTIF) at sea, and take relevant actions promptly whenever necessary.

Thriving relationships with businesses and communities

We strive to respect local communities and contribute to their development in every area we operate. We fully comply with – and often exceed – local regulations on Health, Safety, Security, Quality, Energy and Environmental Protection. A notable example is Thenamaris’ compliance with the Exceptional Compliance Program (ECOPRO) in Washington State (U.S.). This voluntary program aims to control and mitigate marine pollution risks in the State’s territorial waters.

Thenamaris works closely with thousands of local businesses, such as suppliers and port agents, applying strict principles related to transparency and an ethical way of working. Our focus on creating long-term win-win relationships helps our business partners grow with us.

Advancing societal well-being through dedicated corporate social responsibility initiatives

Thenamaris continues to uphold our long-standing commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), channeling our efforts into initiatives that create meaningful and lasting impact. Guided by the principles of empathy, sustainability, and shared progress, in 2025, our CSR activities focused on three core areas: Social Welfare, Environmental Conservation, and Education

SOCIAL WELFARE

Thenamaris has been a Grand Benefactor of SYN-ENOSIS, the Union of Greek Shipowners’ Social Welfare Company, since 2016.  SYN-ENOSIS aims to undertake nationwide initiatives to support vulnerable social groups affected by adverse economic conditions in Greece.  In 2025, our contribution represented 27% of total grants received by SYN-ENOSIS, reaching 1350 beneficiaries across 9 prefectures through 50 local organizations.

In collaboration with Desmos, a Greek non-profit connecting donors with organizations in need, Thenamaris continued to support community welfare initiatives and promote a culture of reuse and solidarity.  In 2025, Thenamaris donated a significant number of refurbished office chairs to public institutions, including hospitals, community centers, social pharmacies, and centers for counseling and supporting individuals with special educational needs.  Through a Back-to-School Drive, employees at our Athens headquarters supported “Initiative for the Children” in Veria, Northern Greece, providing essential supplies to children so they could begin the school year equipped and inspired.

Thenamaris’ partnership with Nosilia, a Greek non-profit association of healthcare professionals, underscores our commitment to accessible, compassionate healthcare. Our contribution funded the annual salaries of a social worker and a psychologist, enabling Nosilia to continue delivering home-based nursing and psychological support to patients with chronic conditions.

Our collaboration with Amimoni, the Panhellenic Association of Parents, Guardians, and Friends of People with Visual Impairments and Additional Disabilities, continued in 2025. Thenamaris funded the annual operation of two transport vehicles used to bring children to educational and therapy programs, as well as salaries supporting the Early Intervention Program empowering over 500 families across Greece through education, therapy, and counseling services.

On Karpathos Island, where emergency medical infrastructure is limited, Thenamaris donated four defibrillators that were installed in public locations in the village of Mesochori.  More than 50 residents were trained in their use, enhancing community safety and readiness in medical emergencies.

We also supported OMIKRON, the Chios Volunteer Action Group that has championed environmental protection, fire prevention, and community aid for over 26 years. Our donation funded a new firefighting vehicle, capable of transporting six volunteers and carrying up to one ton of water, significantly bolstering local response capacity during wildfires.

Through our ongoing partnership with Make-A-Wish Greece, Thenamaris made wishes come true for 12 children from Greece’s islands battling serious illnesses. These fulfilled dreams offer joy, strength, and hope, uplifting not only the children but their families as well and reinforcing our belief in the healing power of compassion.

Thenamaris also donated funds to support the Greek Children’s Village in Thessaloniki, helping cover the heating expenses for its buildings during the winter months. The Village provides a safe and caring home to 40 children, from problematic families or who are orphans, ensuring their daily needs are met in a stable environment. This contribution plays a vital role in keeping the children warm and comfortable, allowing the organization to continue its important mission of protection and care.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION

Thenamaris supported ARCHELON, the Sea Turtle Protection Society of Greece. ARCHELON’s Sea Turtle Rescue Center in Glyfada, located near our headquarters, remains the country’s only facility dedicated to the care and rehabilitation of injured sea turtles.  In 2025, the Center treated 71 turtles, successfully releasing those fully rehabilitated back into their natural habitats. It also recorded a historic 13,000 nests and engaged 19,000 individuals through educational programs promoting marine conservation.  Thenamaris’ contribution supported the maintenance and upgrade of rescue facilities, the purchase of diagnostic equipment such as an ultrasound machine, and the ongoing care of 30 sea turtles currently under rehabilitation.

Our support for ANIMA, the Hellenic Wildlife Care Association, continued in 2025 through the funding of two wildlife trainers for one year.  This contribution helped support the continuity of ANIMA’s mission to rehabilitate wildlife and raise awareness among young people as to the importance of environmental stewardship.  In 2025, over 8,700 students from 179 schools participated in ANIMA’s educational programs, gaining invaluable insights into Greece’s biodiversity and ecosystem protection.

As a proud member of the Hellenic Marine Environment Protection Association (HELMEPA), Thenamaris actively participates in training programs and knowledge-sharing initiatives promoting maritime environmental awareness.  As part of our support for HELMEPA, we also adopted a beach close to our headquarters where employees and their family members take part in biannual beach cleanups.

EDUCATION

Recognizing the unique challenges faced by Greece’s numerous island communities, Thenamaris established a dedicated Education Fund for Remote Greek Island Schools designed to bridge educational gaps, empower students, and help ensure equal learning opportunities throughout the country.  Through this fund, we equipped schools in the islands of Ikaria, Karpathos, Naxos, Rhodes, and Zakynthos, as well as the Rallia Schools of Piraeus, with technological devices such as interactive screens, projectors, laptops, and microphones.  In partnership with Desmos, this initiative was expanded to additional island schools, extending the benefits to even more young learners.

Thenamaris also supported the Chemistry Department of the National and Kapodistrian University of Athens (EKPA) by funding the purchase of laboratory equipment essential for ongoing research into marine water quality in the Mediterranean and Northern European seas, contributing to greater scientific understanding of ocean health and marine pollution.

Thenamaris proudly supported the Merchant Marine Academy of Macedonia, providing equipment for the construction of a research vessel presented at the Symposium of Maritime Informatics and Robotics in Syros.  Two students were also sponsored to attend the Symposium, representing the next generation of maritime innovators.

Together with the Union of Greek Shipowners’ Social Welfare Company, we also co-sponsored six postgraduate scholarships, enabling exceptional Greek students to pursue advanced studies abroad.

Through our collective CSR initiatives, Thenamaris reaffirms our unwavering dedication to society — supporting communities in need, protecting the environment, advancing education, and nurturing hope for a sustainable and inclusive future.
