Opportunity

As an integrated container logistics company, A.P. Moller - Maersk is working to connect and simplify our customers’ supply chains. Every day, we facilitate and impact global trade by offering end-to-end logistics solutions across oceans, ports, air and on land. Our global network enables people in every corner of the world to trade with anyone, anywhere – ultimately creating opportunities for people and communities to thrive, and for businesses to grow.

Why should you work on the Energy Transition Platform?

The world is facing a climate emergency. We see it as our obligation – as an industry leader and with the resources available to us – to do all we can to get to net zero operations as fast as possible and to help our customers decarbonise their global supply chains end to end.

As a key player in an industry responsible for 3.5 billion tonnes of annual direct emissions, A.P. Moller - Maersk (Maersk) is committed to leading the decarbonisation of logistics and taking responsibility to be part of the solution, enabling a green and just transition. In early 2022, we announced the ambitious goal of advancing the target year for our commitment to reach net zero emissions by a full decade, to 2040. This applies to our own operations, but – even more importantly – covers all three emission scopes and supports our customers’ own climate commitments.

In 2022, we improved our methodologies for scope calculations, allowing us to report more precise figures which increase the total emissions reported. Scope 3 calculations remain an evolving science, and our footprint will continue to evolve with more accurate data, and due to acquisitions and changes in our business.

Among other responsibilities, The Energy Transition platform team will build services to measure, calculate, and enable net zero commitments across our business by 2040. This means together we will:

• Identify, source, normalize and govern timely and accurate data to enable emissions calculations
• Provide a single source of calculated emissions measures and analysis using defined standard calculation methods with all applicable reporting schemes
• Provision calculated results to the end users (APIs, dashboards etc)
