A marine services group depends largely for its success upon the expertise and professionalism of the people that work for it. Their aptitude and ability to control safety and the environmental impact of their activities serve to cement the relationship of trust that exists between BOURBON, its clients and its partners.
BOURBON’s strategy is based on developing a culture of excellence designed to motivate and unite its staff, and which underpins staff training, their sense of responsibility and the ability to listen to the customer.
BOURBON’s success is founded on a set of values shared by all the men and women that work for the group and who, in their daily work, make it so extraordinary:
ProfessionalismThe quality of the services provided and the technical and technological characteristics of the company’s vessels are worth little unless they are properly managed by the people that operate them. This man-machine tandem is the key to excellence in our business. Our staff care about doing their jobs well, down to the even the most minute and most obscure detail. Furthermore, in addition modernising our fleet, BOURBON also ensures that their skills are constantly improved. The reliability and regularity of our services are proof of this commitment. Customer loyalty is our reward.
ResponsibilityThe sea commands respect. The men and women that work at BOURBON are constantly aware of the consequences of their actions, always looking ahead, allowing for them and taking responsibility for them. Their commitment to responsibility is backed by our policy to consistently improve the quality of the services provided for our clients, to improve operational safety and working conditions, and by our compliance with the most stringent standards applicable to the maritime industry.
EnthusiasmEnthusiasm is a value on which the company sets great store. It is a personal and emotional response which enables every member of staff to find fulfilment in his or her work, augmenting the desire to surpass oneself, to remain focused on one’s actions without sacrificing one’s emotions, which acts as a stimulus, renewing one’s energy.
The sea is a catalyst, a field of action, a world of conquest and achievement which reflects the pioneer spirit inherent in the men and women that work with BOURBON.
SolidarityWhether sea-going or land-based, BOURBON crews belong to a community of men and women who work together toward common goals, in the true maritime tradition of mutual respect, support and assistance.
Our differences and our diversity, combined with those of our partners and clients, provide the resources which enable us to move forward together, shoulder to shoulder, and to rise to the boldest of challenges.
