Diversity and Inclusion: Women in transport

1 March 2021

The Transport and logistics industry has traditionally been male dominated. Because of this, we're increasing the representation of women in Maersk at all levels. Improving the diversity of our leadership also helps us better reflect and understand the diverse markets we serve. Progress is steady, but we still have a long way to go.

SheTrades

In 2018, ITC SheTrades and Maersk launched a partnership to help female entrepreneurs who use logistics and shipping. Why have we partnered? Many female-led businesses face a variety of export barriers, so we've offered our tools and services to accelerate growth and provide access to new global markets.

Targeted development programs

Maersk is committed for gender balanced leadership profile. Women only programmes enable us to target female talent and provide the skills, tools and techniques to help maximise the potential of an under represented talent pool.

Maternity support

Inclusion at Maersk means recognising and successfully leveraging the many differences our employees bring to the workplace. Having policies and guidelines in place that support the different choices and career paths that employees may take is an essential step in creating an inclusive culture.

Our aspiration is to reach global average best practice maternity retention rate of 90%.
