SOCIAL
MEDIA

Minerva Marine Inc. and Minerva Dry Inc. recognize the value of social media and expect everyone to use these tools responsibly, protecting Companies’ reputation, as they would in traditional media. We understand that social media can be a fun and rewarding way to share your life and opinions with family, friends and co-workers around the world. However, the use of social media also presents certain risks and carries with it certain responsibilities.

TO ASSIST INDIVIDUALS TO RESPONSIBLY USE SOCIAL MEDIA, THE COMPANIES HAVE ESTABLISHED THE BELOW GUIDELINES:

  • Any imagery, information, data etc., relevant to any incident involving the Company’s managed vessels, facilities or people must remain confidential and must not be distributed.
  • Don’t make posts or comments that may be considered offensive, obscene, threatening, harassing or embarrassing to others.
  • Never use someone else’s copyrights, copyrighted material, trademarks, service marks or other intellectual property.
  • If you see comments relating to the Company, that you think should be addressed, contact the DPA for guidance.
  • Do not use the Company’s logo (in any form) on any personal social media platform, unless approved by the Company Management.
  • Respect others in any online social interaction. Do not use social media or any similar form of communication to attack/insult the Company’s employees, customers, vendors, contractors, suppliers, competitors or others.
  • Do not disclose any confidential, proprietary or sensitive information about the Company, our employees, customers, vendors, contractors, suppliers, competitors or others.
  • Do not comment on Company related legal matters, financial performance, competitors, strategy or rumors, unless you are specifically authorized to do so by the Company Management.
  • If any member of the media (social or traditional) contacts you about your user-generated content (i.e., blog post, comment, video), a colleague’s or another party’s, do not engage in a dialogue and refer them to the DPA.
  • Be accurate and honest. If you are in doubt or uncertain about how to respond to a post, contact the DPA for guidance.
