Diversity, Equity and Inclusion at A.P. Moller – Maersk

At Maersk, we want to build an organization that reflects the diversity of the world and the communities we serve. We are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive workplace where everyone is empowered to thrive.

How we’re building belonging at Maersk

Diversity, equity and inclusion at Maersk is a work in progress. We are constantly questioning and challenging ourselves to remove barriers – unconscious or otherwise – that prevents colleagues from feeling comfortable in being their full authentic self.

By fostering a trusting and open culture, rooted in highly cherished values and ethics, we are confident that we will succeed. We all thrive when we are part of something that feels worthwhile.

Encouraging a flexible working culture

Flexible working not only helps our colleagues balance their professional and personal responsibilities and circumstances; it also has a positive impact on engagement and productivity.

This is why we actively encourage Flexible Work Arrangements which allow every employee the opportunity to modify their working pattern – where possible – in consultation with their line manager.
