Sustainable procurement
As an end-to-end logistics provider, we have both the ability and a duty to advance responsible business practices throughout our supply chain.
Why sustainable procurement matters
Our operations and purchasing decisions impact social, environmental, and economic conditions, in our industry, across global supply chains, and in the communities we serve. Because of this reach and influence, our customers expect us to ensure that our services are responsible – all the way.
By managing sustainability risks in our supply chain, we strengthen our stakeholders’ trust in our brand and proactively contribute to more sustainable global trade. We also remain well prepared for evolving supply chain due diligence regulations.
Our ambition
We continuously integrate ESG as a strategic topic across supplier lifecycle stages, establishing end-to-end visibility on supplier performance and promoting supplier collaboration and engagement to drive co-development and innovation towards more sustainable outcomes.

Supplier Code of Conduct
The Maersk Supplier Code of Conduct sets out minimum requirements in the areas of anticorruption, working conditions, human rights, and the environment. It’s a foundation that supports our partners as we take sustainable logistics all the way, together.
In 2024, our Supplier Code of Conduct was updated to reflect the evolving regulatory landscape, including the upcoming EU Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive.
