Columbia Group Unplugged
Welcome to “Columbia Group Unplugged” – the official podcast of Columbia Group.
This is where our people come together to share real conversations about the maritime world, life at Columbia, industry trends, sustainability, safety, wellbeing, and much more. From ship to shore, our employees open up about the challenges they face, the innovations they’re proud of, and the future they’re helping to shape.
No scripts, no hosts—just authentic voices from across the Columbia family.
Whether you’re looking for insight, inspiration, or simply a new perspective from a colleague on the other side of the world, this is your space to listen, learn, and connect.

In this inspiring episode of the Columbia Group Podcast, Group Director for Diversity, Inclusion and Sustainability Claudia Paschkewitz is joined by colleagues Angela, Alexandra, and Stavros Fokas to explore what diversity truly means within the Columbia family.
From cultural backgrounds and neurodiversity to communication, empathy, and inclusion, the conversation highlights how embracing our differences creates a stronger, more connected workplace. The team shares personal stories, experiences from life at sea and ashore, and the importance of treating every individual with respect and kindness.
Join us as we celebrate Global Diversity Awareness Month and reaffirm why diversity and inclusion are not just values — they’re the foundation of who we are.
