The RINA Maritime Diversity Award, also known as the Eily Keary Award, sponsored by BP, recognises the contribution by any individual, company or organisation to increasing equality, diversity and inclusion in their sector of the maritime industry.
About the award
RINA was founded in 1860, but it was not until 1919 that the first woman was admitted as a member, Eily Keary. This maritime diversity award commemorates this significant event in RINA’s history.
Since then, the Institution has been dedicated to enhancing diversity and inclusion, both within the organisation and by supporting and recognising industry-wide initiatives and efforts.
The annual Maritime Diversity Eily Keary Award celebrates those individuals, teams and organisations who champion equality, diversity and inclusion and have made a real and lasting impact in their local environment, and organisation of the maritime industry.
RINA is dedicated to ensuring that everyone, regardless of gender, faith, ethnicity, or background, has equal opportunities to engage fully in the Institution’s activities. RINA also strives to promote equality of opportunity and participation throughout the global maritime industry.
Sponsor
BP, a global leader in energy production and sustainability, proudly sponsors the Maritime Diversity Award. Through this partnership with RINA, BP underscores its commitment to promoting equality, diversity, and inclusion within the maritime industry.
