MSC has received its first ESG Recognition from global certification body DNV.

Achieving this recognition reflects MSC’s commitment to continuous improvement, recognized international standards and responsible business practices. It also supports our broader approach to sustainability, which revolves around four priorities: enabling logistics decarbonization, protecting our blue planet, fostering inclusive trade and addressing social challenges.

This recognition is based on the independent evaluations of the company’s certified management systems against internationally recognized standards, including those developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).

The certified management systems covered by the ESG Recognition include:

• ISO 14001 for environmental management;
• ISO 45001 for occupational health and safety;
• and ISO 9001, ISO 28000, ISO/IEC 27001 and ISO 22301 covering areas including quality, security, information security and business continuity.

These systems provide structured frameworks to manage and continually improve MSC’s environmental, social and governance performance.

DNV’s ESG Recognition provides independent confirmation of the certified management systems that support the delivery of our sustainability priorities. It reflects the work taking place across MSC to strengthen our approach and provide transparency towards stakeholders on how we manage these topics.” said Claudio Bozzo, MSC Chief Operating Officer.

“We are experiencing increased focus on ESG in the market. More companies are seeking to manage related risks and demonstrate performance in a credible and traceable manner. An ESG Recognition issued by DNV confirms which certified management systems a company is operating to support its ESG performance. I would like to congratulate MSC on this recognition.” said Massimo Alvaro, Managing Director, Business Assurance Italy at DNV.
