Our talented people
Health and safety
At Höegh Evi, we are committed to achieving zero harm to people and the environment. We believe all incidents can, and should, be prevented. Maintaining safe operations and minimizing risk is our number one priority, and we identify potential hazards through a combination of experience, industry guidelines/requirements, and a structured hazard identification process.
We safeguard our people through measures and policies such as:
- Zero-harm commitment drives safety culture via training, Tool Box Talks, and the Safer Together program.
- OHSE Policy (ISO 45001-aligned) applies onshore and at sea, supported by audits and monitoring.
- Consistent safety standards for all via OHS system and ISM Code-certified vessel operations.
- Code of Conduct ensures accountability and open communication; employees are empowered to speak up.
- Safety compliance impacts performance reviews, reinforcing accountability and behavior.
- Employee participation in monthly safety meetings, safety campaigns and conferences
- Crew health supported through medical checks, 24/7 telemedicine, gyms, welfare budgets, and fatigue-managed rotations.

Employee wellbeing
Höegh Evi is taking practical steps to foster a vibrant working environment for all our employees. Our culture development program includes various actions and milestones which will help us achieve this, and we proactively seek out development opportunities to help our people reach their full potential. Many of our employee wellbeing plans and initiatives are long-term, meaning we weave them through all our core people processes on an ongoing basis.
They include:
- Ensuring we pay fairly and incentivize performance
- Maintaining our top ≥90% employee engagement score
- Maintaining our current strong employee retention rates
- Investing in upskilling, training and development, rotation, internal mobility, succession planning and hiring
