Responsible business practices

A.P. Moller - Maersk supports regulation such as the cap on sulphur content in fuel oil, which will significantly reduce these effects and create a level playing field for socially and environmentally responsible practices in the industry.

At Maersk, the safety of our employees is our responsibility and focus.

Well-functioning tax systems locally and internationally help finance education, infrastructure and other public services that support sustainable development, local societies, business and trade. We recognise the need for companies to support the local economies in which they do business.

Despite many shipowners having policies for responsible ship recycling, the recycling of around 90% of the vessels recycled globally is carried out under poor health, safety and environmental conditions. As a leader in the shipping industry, we can make a real impact by driving opportunities for responsible practice-driven, financially viable recycling.

Through our operations and purchasing decisions we have an impact on social, environmental and economic conditions in our industry and global supply chains.

Ocean health is pivotal to the health of nature and people.

All our employees will be treated fairly in a safe and healthy working environment, and we are committed to creating a working environment where each employee feels valued and can prosper.

At Maersk we want to leverage the competitive advantage that diverse teams and inclusive cultures can bring to our business, and meet our employees' demand for working in a company that values diversity and inclusion.

Our deep knowledge of logistics and our global presence allow us to deliver on the need for aid to reach areas impacted by disaster quickly and efficiently, and we see it as a clear responsibility to do so.

Corruption undermines social and economic development. It destabilises the business environment and adds to the cost of participating in global trade. It affects external confidence as well as company morale.
