Employee Resource Networks (ERNs) at Maersk

At Maersk, we see it as a priority to offer an inclusive working environment in which all our colleagues feel welcome and comfortable to be themselves. We want to embrace and celebrate every facet of our employees’ identities. This brings benefits to us all.

Employee Resource Networks (ERNs) are one of the ways we put this principle into practice. By bringing staff members together who share similar interests, these voluntary, employee-led groups enhance and elevate the culture and environment for our colleagues.

Our aim

Through our ERNs, we aim to create an inclusive culture, in which colleagues feel comfortable to be themselves. At the same time, we want to make sure we’re addressing all aspects of diversity, equity and inclusion. ERNs act as a voice for our workforce, providing input to ensure that company policies truly align with our commitment to inclusivity.

Our impact

Our journey is only just beginning, but we’ve already made great strides in empowering our colleagues. Our ERNs help raise awareness of the value of creating an inclusive environment where everyone can grow and develop, and feel welcome.
