Strategy 2024-2029

Throughout the next five years, we will scale our impact in five ways: 

1. Internationalise - Led by local voices, we will make sure that the people most affected have the strongest say in identifying safety problems and finding solutions to make themselves safer.
2. Influencing others to act - Recognising that change comes through others, we will target our resources where we can catalyse change at scale, building strong partnerships and creating compelling communications. 
3. Leverage additional resource - We will use our own funding to attract resources from others to keep people safer.
4. A trusted voice in safety - We will find, share and, where needed, commission the best evidence about safety, so that others can act with confidence.
5. Strengthening our voice in the maritime system for the future - The maritime economy is growing rapidly around the world bringing huge risks and opportunities for safety. Because we have a long heritage in maritime, we have the opportunity to strengthen our collective voice to ensure that this growth is safe, sustainable and equitable.

Our 2024-2029 strategy sees us build on, and learn from, our work to date. It has been created in the context of a continually changing world and remains firmly in line with our charitable mission; to engineer a safer world. 

We will focus our resources across three interconnected priority areas: Safer Maritime Systems; Skilled People for Safer Engineering; and Safer, Sustainable Infrastructure. 

In addition, we will continue to invest in the Foundation’s own assets and expertise which are our maritime heritage and safety evidence and insight.
