In the A.P. Moller – Maersk Group we believe in sustainability, and we support initiatives that promote environmental responsibility. Complying with environmental legislation is obviously fundamental, but where we believe it right, we will strive to do more than what is simply necessary to comply with legislation, recognising that individual contributions make a difference.

Our approach to the environmental debate is that not only do we have a duty to society in general, but environmental consciousness also creates business opportunities for the Group. For instance, the less fuel consumption the less CO2 emissions. This is good for the environment – and, at the same time, it is good for business. And there are many examples of how A.P. Moller – Maersk, through creativity and skill, is the first with energy-efficient solutions for the benefit of both the environment and the bottom line.

However, solving the world’s environmental problems is something we need to do together. That is why we are involved in a number of organisations that are working to reduce environmental impact. In our opinion it is crucial that global, and not local, solutions are developed if the rate of climate change is to be changed.
