In an unprecedented year of pandemic, sustainability remained at the top of the agenda of A.P. Moller - Maersk and core to our values.
We are intensifying efforts on decarbonisation while integrating sustainability even further into business strategy.
Decarbonising logistics is our single most important strategic sustainability priority. Our 2050 net zero ambition for shipping is a challenging target, but possible to reach. We have reduced our relative CO2 emissions by over 46% since 2008, making further progress towards our 2030 target of 60% reduction.
By 2030, deliver 60% relative reduction in CO₂ emissions compared to 2008 levels.
By 2030, have commercially viable, net zero vessels operating in our fleet.
By 2050, have net zero CO₂ emissions from our own ocean operations.
Managing all aspects of our customers' logistics supply chains includes taking on responsibility for sustainability performance.
We are developing a more comprehensive approach to fully integrate sustainability as a base component in our offerings.
This includes improved tools and processes, engaging with customers and with suppliers, and cross-sector partnerships for standard-setting.
We are committed to ensuring responsible business practices across all our operations, to live up to our Values and commitments and to meet the expectations of our stakeholders across all material environmental, social and governance issues. Some examples are:
We mitigate safety risks through engaged leadership, collaboration and capacity building
We aspire to create an inclusive culture where all employees can contribute to their fullest
Our ambition is to create opportunities for responsible ship recycling globally
We use our capabilities to help restore ocean health in partnership with UN agencies and The Ocean Cleanup
