Responsible practices
Every year, we need to procure thousands of different items to run our operations, from engine parts to hand soap, crew uniforms to food and drink. Then we must get it on to our fleet of ships, which are constantly on the move. Our procurement teams are building relationships with suppliers all over the world to satisfy our requirements and meet our procurement standards.

MSC FOUNDATION
TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE
As a family-owned company with a global seafaring heritage that dates back to 1675, we care passionately about the seas and have a real love of the beautiful places and inspiring cultures we take our guests to explore all over the world. This has led us to launch many life-changing initiatives over the years. The non-profit MSC Foundation was founded in 2018 to lead and coordinate these conservation and humanitarian commitments worldwide, developing the longstanding philanthropic partnerships of all the MSC Group companies and launching many new initiatives. Now a leading global corporate philanthropic organisation supporting ocean conservation initiatives, our MSC Foundation works to restore the critical balance between people and nature. Utilising our global reach and unique knowledge of the sea, we take immediate action to protect and nurture the blue planet, its peoples and our shared cultural heritage. We likewise help disaster-struck populations toward recovery and support vulnerable communities around the world to realise their full potential through education, sustainable development, and humanitarian medical programmes.
