Logistics & Services Decarbonisation Strategy

Maersk has set an industry leading target to reach net zero emissions in 2040. MMC was engaged by the Decarbonisation team to develop a strategy to decarbonise Logistics & Services (L&S) – focusing on three products: Landside Transportation, Contract Logistics and Air.

The team worked closely with the head of L&S Decarbonisation to lay the cornerstones and develop a strategic roadmap for decarbonisation of Landside Transportation, Contract Logistics and Air. Developing a strategy within a new and very complex space, not only for Maersk, but the industry overall, required collaboration across functions with technical, product, commercial, and procurement expertise. MMC supported the cross-functional team to develop a strategic roadmap for decarbonisation considering industry and technological developments, core principles for decarbonisation, customer value proposition and potential business models.

The journey to decarbonise our operations has just begun and MMC is continuously engaged on decarbonisation projects across A. P. Moller-Maersk.

North America Strategy

Maersk’s vision to become the global integrator of container logistics calls for significant growth within the Logistics and Services (L&S) space. MMC was engaged by our North American organization to create a detailed strategy roadmap for how we can achieve the company’s ambitioned targets within L&S for the North American Region.

As part of Maersk’s vision to grow significantly within the L&S space, several new product offerings have been launched to enhance the customer offerings and enable Maersk to offer integrated solutions for our customers. Some examples of these L&S products are new ones such as Air Freight, Maersk Flow but also include an enhancement of current offerings such as Customs House Brokerage (CHB) and 4PL.

Working out of our regional offices in New York, an MMC team was gathered to develop a clear and actionable plan for how to reach the ambitioned growth plan for several L&S products within North America. As part of the project, the MMC team helped our North American organization shape their winning aspiration and prioritize growth areas and capabilities, as well as creating a roadmap for how we would get there – evaluating both organic and inorganic growth initiatives.

Logistics & Services Strategic Roadmap

A key strategic tenet for Maersk is to create scalable, sustainable growth, in a way that best addresses our customer needs. When tasked with the ambitious project to design the long-term roadmap of the Logistics & Services (L&S) organization, a team of MMCers played a critical role in designing the strategy.

The increasingly disruptive trends within the industry have shown the importance of long-term strategic planning. Indeed, focusing on the right product offerings can make or break the organization, tying up efforts and resources for years to come. In this scenario, Maersk Management Consulting was tasked to create the long-term strategic roadmap for the L&S organization.

The intrinsic complexity of the project required the team to develop a highly structured approach, ranging from an in-depth quantitative analysis to devising clear and actionable roadmaps across different offerings. During the engagement, MMC worked with several stakeholders across our L&S products, ensuring a consistent outcome.

As a result, the team was able to develop a set of sustainable ambitions and scalable product roadmaps, exploring both organic and inorganic (M&A) growth options. This ensured a clear and implementable path ahead and set the foundation for long-term growth for the L&S organization.
