CSR commitments at the heart of the CMA CGM Group’s strategy
Committed to the ecological transition and the protection of the environment, CMA CGM aims to be Net Zero Carbon by 2050. To achieve this goal, the Group has set up several pioneering actions based on three inseparable pillars: respect for people, preservation of the environment, and the development of responsible trade. The Group’s ambition is to be a leader in carbon-free logistics solutions across its entire value chain. The actions undertaken by CMA CGM have thus enabled the Group to reduce its CO₂ emissions per kilometer and per container by 48% between 2008 and 2021.
With its Fund for Energies, the Group is beginning a new chapter in its clean energy transition
In September 2022, CMA CGM decided to establish an Energies Fund to accelerate the decarbonization of its operations. The Fund, which is to be endowed with €1.5 billion over 5 years, will speed up initiatives supporting the industrial production of new fuels, low-emission mobility solutions across all the Group’s activities and energy efficiency programs.
