Creating Positive Impact Beyond Maritime Operations
At IFS, people are at the heart of everything we do.
We believe that responsible business extends far beyond daily operations, which is why we are deeply committed to ethical practices, environmental awareness, and the long-term well-being of the communities in which we operate.
Through meaningful initiatives and community-driven programs, IFS actively supports social inclusion, equal opportunities, and sustainable development.
We strive to create positive impact by offering support and opportunities to individuals facing social or economic challenges while promoting a culture built on respect, responsibility, and human connection.
By combining operational excellence with a strong sense of social responsibility, IFS continues to invest in people, communities, and sustainable initiatives that create lasting value and contribute to a more inclusive and resilient future.
City Pirates
One of our major social engagements is the City Pirates Project, a social reintegration plan in Antwerp driven by soccer and social diversity. Fueled by tons of goodwill and broad-based volunteering, this project aims at granting kids (and their parents) from the suburbs easier access to society. IFS unites people from different backgrounds by playing the most popular game in the world, which has proved amazingly fruitful.

Anak TNK Foundation
In the Philippines, the IFS Training & Hospitality facility structurally collaborates with local street children. Cook apprentices regularly prepare meals for them, and kids are offered the opportunity to participate in the free training programmes.
This way, they can expand their skill set and work on their future.
