This did not take any in depth sleuthing. It is very prominent on their website and considered a major feature of their company.

As an organization aspiring to excellence, issues related to diversity are a high priority at Synergy. We realize that the benefits of diversity are best achieved by fostering greater inclusion and belonging. We will continue to attract, hire, and retain a diverse workforce because that is a key source of good ideas, and talented applicants will be drawn to work with us. But hiring for diversity alone is not enough. We want to ensure that our employees can bring their full selves to work – that they can belong in the fullest sense to the community inside the organization.
At Synergy we want a workplace that is truly characterized by inclusion and belonging. Diversity for us is more about the variety of our thoughts as a team. Although diversity can be created through deliberate hiring practices, inclusion may not automatically follow. We want our entire workforce to appreciate and show sensitivity to the cultural, and any other, differences that exist in our teams, as well as among the people we interact with in our daily business. We strive to create an environment where everyone feels they belong.

I still find it very strange that the idea of diversity literally means "outnumber white people".
Diversity should entail a "representation" of people from diverse backgrounds - ideally in a mix representing their portion of the population. That said, another separate issue for me is always - all jobs aren't for everyone, and not everyone aspires to work in a particular job market niche.
Example: I once saw a post or read something online where it was said that the watchmaking industry was racist because there were so many white watchmakers. This argument does not hold water in any way. Using blacks in a scenario, how many young black kids aspire to be a watchmaker? Do this, after extrapolating handicapped, blind, and other preclusions from their 11% representation.in society. What's left?
This diversity shite isn't new in the workforce. It started getting more buzz around 2006. It's been twisted into what it is now - a simple hate tactic vs. anything white.

They're based in Singapore. Honestly wtf does diversity mean out there? Less white males or less asian people? This is a serious question.
Also if you have any experience in shipping you know that natural diversity is commonplace, IE naturally attracting crews and people from all over the world. You don't have to fake it with a DEI initiative. There's not a lot of Frank and Joe Hardy types in shipping other than the US Navy. This is no longer the age of the British Empire owning all the ships.

Looks like this may have been a little more appropriate than we thought.

In those pictures in the main OP, I see a particular demographic that is utterly bereft of any representation.
Weird how they're so openly bragging about, and promoting, diversity... but I guess that just means including everyone except for black people. Wonder why that is?
