Committed to net zero across our business by 2040.

Sustainability Report 2021

Driving sustainable trade for a growing world

By connecting and simplifying global trade, we empower our customers and broader society to share value, grow and thrive. But we only succeed when this growth is decoupled from negative impacts on individuals, communities, and the environment. 

That is why we see it as our mission to digitise and decarbonise the world’s supply chains to enable sustainable trade for a growing world. Our transformation strategy is founded on our Core Values and a singular conviction: that a safer, fairer and greener future is within our reach.

These commitments provide a framework for taking targeted action within 14 ESG categories that represent areas where we believe Maersk can create the greatest positive impact for the world.
