Our values

Influencing everything we do

Values are not a novelty in the A.P. Moller - Maersk Group. For more than 100 years, values have determined the way we interact with employees, customers and society in general.

In fact, we believe that one of the important foundations of our success is our values. These values are closely linked to our founder, Mr A.P. Møller, and his son, Mr Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller.

Our values have never been elaborately formalised before, but in 2002 we started contemplating how to increase the internal understanding of our values. In 2003, Mærsk Mc-Kinney Møller himself handed over this task to our Group CEO, asking him and his management team to ensure that the values continued to live on in the organisation.

Living our values - today and tomorrow

In order to ensure a shared, thorough understanding of our values and the role they play in our Group – which is constantly developing and growing – a values-anchoring process began among our employees in 2004.

Our values apply to all our employees, whether in Beijing, Kazakhstan or Honduras and our values will continue to guide us in our endeavours – today and tomorrow.
