Citizenship

In early 2025, devastating wildfires struck Los Angeles, and Maersk mobilized to support affected communities. This included donations to local initiatives supporting impacted business and workers, and to the LA Fire Department Foundation. Maersk also provided forklifts to the California Office of Emergency Services, supplied containers to nonprofits for resource distribution, and delivered meals to local fire stations.

In 2025, APM Terminals Apapa—Nigeria’s largest container terminal—partnered with Garbage In Value Out (GIVO), a climate tech start-up combat plastic waste and promote circularity. The partnership launched a hub that converts recycled materials into products such as flowerpots and personal protective equipment, while creating a sustainable waste management system in Apapa Wharf and Onne Community. The solar-powered hub makes waste recycling easier and more accessible to communities, and currently recycles approximately 300 kilograms of waste per day, totaling about 90 metric tons annually.

In addition to local initiatives, Maersk engages in global partnerships that leverage our expertise and resources to address systemic challenges while strengthening stakeholder relationships. Maersk’s membership of the United Nations-led Logistics Emergency Teams (LET) is a notable example, where we join forces with industry peers to provide pro bono support during humanitarian crises and natural disasters.

In 2025, Maersk contributed to LET activations related to humanitarian relief for Gaza, through the donation of a logistics hub in Amman, and in South Sudan, supporting the transport of foodstuffs in response to the severe hunger crisis in this conflict-affected region
