As a family company, MSC’s sustainability approach places people front and centre whilst respecting our planet. We believe that operating responsibly benefits our colleagues and crew, our customers and the communities in which we operate.
We are ambitious and take pride in delivering on our commitments, collaborating with our stakeholders in search of sustainable solutions to address global challenges. MSC has a unique approach to sustainability, which is firmly embedded across our business and reflected in all that we do.
We connect the world, fostering inclusive trade by securing organic growth and generating value among the local economies and societies that we serve. This is all reflected in the way we approach one of the biggest challenges facing the industry – decarbonising international shipping. There is still a long way to go for the shipping industry to reach net decarbonisation.
It will require significant R&D investment to achieve zero-emission ships, with a massive injection of energy and capita to bring alternative fuels and alternative propulsion technologies to the marketplace.
