    We are committed to offer decent, fair and equal working conditions and make Maersk a good place to work for all our people. We identify risks for third-party labour and implement mitigating and preventive actions and involve employees in our efforts to secure that our growth adequately considers our responsibility towards employees. Key actions taken in 2021: 1. Carried out bi-annual company-wide labour rights self-assessment. Additionally, a rise in workplace harassment cases was noted. In 2022 we will continue our efforts to strengthen the labour rights due diligence process to gather actionable insights that will help address these issues in our business. 2. Completed four sample audits in terminals in Nigeria, Columbia and Oman, and audits at warehouses in Bangladesh. Actions taken to address findings. Learnings will contribute to future work on third-party labour working conditions. 3. Since 2018, we have had a set of principles to guide how we engage with and communicate such plans and changes to employees, including a focus on re-skilling for new job types. In 2021, we added to these principles that new automation initiatives in our terminals will go through an employee relations review, before final decision-making and implementation. We began such reviews in two ports with planned automation projects. 4. We continue to be engaged in collaborative pilot initiatives on responsible trucking. It is clear to us that improvement in labour conditions for trucking need to take place at an industry level. Reference: Maersk Sustainability Report 2021, p. 42

    7. What percentage of the company's revenue was invested in R&D of low-carbon products/services during this reporting period?

    Percent of revenue (%)

    Optional comment
    In early 2022, Maersk launched an accelerated decarbonization commitments to help our customers decarbonise their global supply chains by providing end-to-end decarbonised logistics solutions. Towards this end, we have set near- and long-term targets - 2030: Providing industry-leading green customer offerings across the supply chain and 2040: 100% green solutions to customers. In 2021, we invested in 13 green methanol-enabled vessels and in 2022, engaged in strategic partnerships across the globe to scale green methanol production by 2025.With this production capacity, by the end of 2025 at the latest, Maersk will reach well beyond the green methanol needed for the green container vessels currently on order. Additionally, for 2021 Maersk is reporting against the EU taxonomy for the first time on the share of revenue, CAPEX and OPEX that are 'taxonomy-eligible'. The KPIs show that Maersk holds great potential to contribute significantly to the green transition, with 94% of revenue, 93% of CAPEX and 90% of OPEX reported as taxonomy-eligible. However, since Maersk is at the beginning of its end-to-end decarbonisation journey, Maersk expects to report a low share of taxonomy-aligned activities from 2022, with significant opportunity to increase the alignment as the company progresses on its decarbonisation pathway.

    Percentage of water consumed in regions with high or extremely high water stress (%)

    Optional comment
    50% of water consumed in regions with high or extremely high water stress. This number corresponds to our terminals business that piloted a new way of consolidating water consumption data across different water stress zones (see Sustainability Report 2021, p.32). This new approach identified that around half of our terminals’ water use is in high and very high water stress zones in 2021. This context provides a better understanding of the risk of water use in our Terminals business and enables teams to prioritise and manage these risks. In 2022 we will expand this approach to all our landside operations.

    13. Please provide details about the company’s water intensity of products in regions with high or extremely high water stress.

    In 2021, Maersk became a founding member of the Alliance for Clean Air, which has as one of its goals to develop a methodology to measure emissions of particulate matter across scopes. In doing so, we commit to establish air pollution footprints on SOx, NOx, and particulate matter (including black carbon) during 2022 and set ambitious targets to reduce these air pollution emissions with a clear action plan. Subject to finalisation of the methodology in due time, we further aim to report these figures starting with our Annual Sustainability Report for 2022. Reference: Maersk Sustainability Report, p. 31
