Culture and Inclusion at A.P. Moller - Maersk
At Maersk, we want to build an organization that reflects the labour market and communities that we serve. We are committed to creating an inclusive workplace culture where everyone is empowered to thrive.
A culture built for performance and transformation
Our culture is shaped by a commitment to inclusive values, different experiences and perspectives, and a strong culture of fairness and merit. We believe that when people from different backgrounds and experiences come together, they unlock innovation, strengthen collaboration, and drive meaningful progress and positive business outcomes.
Our cultural transformation includes:
Developing inclusive leadership
Valerie Toney, Head of Customs House Brokerage operations for the Southeast region of North America, shares her views:
“It has been a highlight of my own career and time at Maersk to hire, teach, and develop people with no prior experience, and watch them grow into confident and passionate professionals. The opportunity each day to support the growth and development of someone else is what I enjoy most about my role. Just like how my managers helped me grow at Maersk, I do the same for my team”.
Celebrating our People
At Maersk, we serve a diverse global customer base with needs, expectations, and communication styles that vary across regions and industries. Our diverse workforce—across languages, cultures, and experience—enables meaningful and relevant interactions, ensuring that global standards are delivered with local understanding. This empowers us to build stronger relationships, adapt to unique customer contexts, and ultimately achieve better outcomes for the diverse customers we support worldwide.
Supporting Cultural Awareness
At Maersk, we also have some fun by sharing food from different countries. Colleagues explore new dishes and discover different flavours – something as simple as tasting each other’s cuisine becomes a way to connect and gain a deeper understanding of different cultures. It’s a small yet meaningful way to experience diversity and celebrate the unique traditions that shape us all.
Culture at Sea
How do we support our cadets to feel safe speaking up when it matters, and contribute to a culture where everyone can thrive and feel like they belong? This video dives into that and more – from encouraging open conversations to creating a safe, supportive space onboard.
From Culture to Competitive Advantage
Our ambition is to create an inclusive workplace where all Maersk colleagues feel seen, valued, and supported as their authentic self, and where they can contribute to their fullest, thrive and succeed.
We believe that creating a culture built on respect, fairness and a strong sense of belonging is key to business performance, achieving operational excellence, and transforming our industry.
Join us and help build a workplace where everyone belongs.
