ADDRESSING
SOCIAL CHALLENGES

Our People: The Source of our Success 

We live in an interconnected world where the business of global companies connects and brings prosperity to people and societies. Advancing human rights and ensuring a just transition to a zero-carbon economy are at the heart of MSC business. Our social impact extends beyond our diverse workforce and includes our business partners with whom we work to build a sustainable supply network.

We address social challenges by advancing human rights; promoting diversity, equity and inclusion; and engaging our supply chain.

Our Precious Asset Growing From Strength to Strength

Advancing the international business and human rights agenda is a part of our efforts to tackle the social challenges impacting our operations.

MSC people are a central part of our success and through them we can achieve our Purpose. At MSC, we seek to provide a working environment that offers meaningful and fulfilling employment, offering employees the opportunity to thrive both personally and professionally.

Our focus is on empowering employees in their professional paths, prioritizing their development while building a workforce that can both contribute and benefit from our industry’s ongoing transformation. 

Equipping Our Workforce For The Future
Decarbonization requires a safe and just energy transition for workers, their families and communities.  

A collective effort is needed for the training of seafarers, dock workers, truck and train drivers, pilots and aircrew in our decarbonization pathway, including upskilling programmes and equipping our workers with the technical knowledge and skills for the safe handling of alternative fuels.

We have developed a range of learning pathways to prepare our seagoing workforce for a decarbonized shipping industry as well as employees across our inland logistics, terminal and air operations. 

Promoting a Healthy, Safety and Security Culture Across Our Business
At MSC, the health, safety and well-being of our people, as well as the security of our people, assets, infrastructure and customers’ cargo, are top priorities. We have implemented policies, procedures and control protocols to navigate the often-challenging environments of our global operations at sea, on land and in the air. Our commitment is to foster a culture of prevention, promoting a safe working environment for our employees and business partners.
