Employee Resource Networks (ERNs) at Maersk

Maersk ERNs are vibrant, employee-driven networks that provide awareness around Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI). The networks create safe environments for all Maersk colleagues to share experiences, exchange ideas and support each other.

Building a better workplace for everyone

At Maersk, we see it as a priority to offer an inclusive working environment in which all our colleagues feel welcome and comfortable to be themselves. We want to embrace and celebrate every facet of our employees’ identities. This brings benefits to us all.

Employee Resource Networks (ERNs) are one of the ways we put this principle into practice. By bringing staff members together who share similar interests, these voluntary, employee-led groups enhance and elevate the culture and environment for our colleagues.

Our aim

Through our ERNs, we aim to create an inclusive culture, in which colleagues feel comfortable to be themselves. At the same time, we want to make sure we’re addressing all aspects of diversity, equity and inclusion. ERNs act as a voice for our workforce, providing input to ensure that company policies truly align with our commitment to inclusivity.

Our impact

Our journey is only just beginning, but we’ve already made great strides in empowering our colleagues. Our ERNs help raise awareness of the value of creating an inclusive environment where everyone can grow, develop and feel welcome.

Our ERNs are at the heart of our company culture, driving diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. We're not just raising awareness— we're shaping a more inclusive future. Our ERNs in collaboration with Human Resources, DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion), and CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) teams, help ensure that everyone feels welcome to be themselves. Join us and be part of a company that truly values diversity and inclusion.

Diverse Abilities and Neurodiversity

Our Diverse Abilities and Neurodiversity ERN is a global network of colleagues who work to increase awareness of the strengths and challenges of people with diverse abilities, and how to support those with diverse abilities.

At Maersk we intentionally call ‘disabilities’ diverse abilities to celebrate the skills and achievements, not perceived limitations, of all our employees while reflecting the inclusive culture we are proud of and continue to cultivate.
