While sustainability is a relatively new concept in modern business language, care for the environment has always been a part of the A.P. Moller – Maersk creed of 'constant care'. Maersk Tankers live the A.P. Moller - Maersk Group's Principles of Conduct, which sets high business standards for sustainability.

Focus on sustainability is key to ensure our competitive edge in maintaining our strong customer base, attracting new customers and more importantly ensuring all employees feel engaged and active in our business. In all areas of operations we need to strive for continuous, and socially responsible improvement in our performance.

We take a proactive approach to health, safety and security by constantly seeking out innovative ideas and areas where we see possibilities for improvement, and through follow-up work based on facts.

We go beyond compliance, we decisively want to lead our industry in environmental performance by continuing to identify and implement new ways of using resources efficiently, lowering emissions and mitigating environmental risk. Maersk Tankers has an ambitious CSR strategy that aims to fully integrate social aspects into our business models.

The quality of our services and business processes are of critical importance at Maersk Tankers, and we have procedures in place to maintain our quality second to none.

Maersk Tankers aim to keep our stakeholders updated on our sustainability performance, and to drive transparency within the field. Reporting on our position and performance is a part of our approach to sustainability and is the foundation for continuous improvement.
Due to our performance on sustainability and sustained drive towards improvements, Maersk Tankers has received several awards as well as recognitions over the last years. Recently, we received two BP Shipping CEO’s HSSE Awards - for “Partner of the Year” and “Outstanding Environmental Achievement”.

It is a part of the Maersk Tankers Sustainability Policy to be in the forefront with new initiatives and to raise industry bars when it comes to sustainable development. We engage partnerships with NGO’s, Academia and other leading tanker companies as well as committing ourselves to international memberships like UN GLOBAL COMPACT LEAD.
