Sustainability at Nakilat
Nakilat and its joint ventures (JVs) are committed to Qatar National Vision 2030, which outlines the development of a sustainable future for the State of Qatar. As an organization, we conduct various safety and internal development programs to ensure the creation of a safe and reliable workforce, while our robust corporate social responsibility (CSR) framework aims to enrich the lives of local communities and preserve our natural environment.
Our sustainability commitment comprises several key elements, and among our highlights this year include:
The company’s solid safety performance reflects the effort and dedication of staff both at sea and ashore. Nakilat’s prime objective is to achieve an ‘Incident and Injury Free (IIF)’ work environment and our 2022 safety results greatly complement our commitment toward being IIF.
- Operations continued with 100 % staff returning to work from office in accordance with MoPH guidelines.
- All employees were appraised of the requirements from MoPH on the latest COVID-19 guidelines and precautionary measures.
- Restrictions on temperature screening and RAT tests were relaxed in a phased manner in consultation with Qatar Energy COVID-19 Crisis Management Committee across all our facilities (HQ, shipyard, employee accommodation, onboard the vessels). Social distancing measures continued to be implemented throughout major parts of the year.
- Post travel RAT Tests and submission of self-declaration before resuming work continued to be implemented throughout the year.
- The Corporate office premises were thoroughly disinfected daily and after a positive case was identified.
- Nakilat ensured that booster doses were administered for eligible personnel throughout all its facilities.

Some of the key measures included daily disinfection of vehicles, daily RAT testing for drivers, strict adherence towards wearing of face masks during the transit and provision of PPE / sanitization kits to crew / visitors during signing on to vessels.

Professional and personal development of our most strategically important assets, our employees, remained in sharp focus during 2022. Nakilat continued to utilize our blended learning approach with the delivery of 90% of the training programs virtually. This was a result of moving back to a gradual face-to-face approach yet still taking advantage of the less time and budget consuming virtual training but still achieving face-to-face when appropriate. This new strategy continues to significantly improve the efficiency of the training delivery model which gives more flexibility to our staff to complete training at times and locations convenient to them.
11,269 hours of training content was delivered by subject matter experts from external training consultancies as well as internal employees across all divisions.
The Learning Academy, which was established in 2021, continued to be a venue of solid learning in 2022 for Nakilat employees and it provides a variety of over 7,400 courses and materials.
In 2022, we succeeded in getting three (3) cohorts of leaders and high potential individuals through the Georgetown University Leadership Development Program, where Cohort 1 completed the program in Q3 of 2022 and Cohorts 2 and 3 are scheduled to complete the program in Q1 of 2023. The Personal Effectiveness Program in partnership with Franklin Covey came to a successful completion with 845 learning hours.
In 2022, we continued our focus on developing the next level of leaders in our business through our succession planning process, which culminated in phase 2 talent forum for Nakilat.
