SUSTAINABILITY REPORTS
At MSC Cruises, sustainability is not just a buzzword but a long term business commitment.

our sustainability programme
Our commitment to the future is outlined in our latest Sustainability Action Plan. We're working on several fronts: reducing our greenhouse-gas emissions from our marine operations to net-zero, using resources wisely, supporting the places we visit, taking care of our team and guests, and choosing our suppliers carefully. These efforts organised into our main areas of action – reducing emissions, protecting the ocean and using resources efficiently to show our dedication to protecting the environment, supporting our communities, and ensuring a sustainable future for cruising.
ENVIRONMENT
We recognise our responsibility to help tackle climate change, prevent pollution, and support and protect ocean biodiversity. We are clear in our goal to deliver net zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050 for our fleet. We know we cannot achieve this alone and work in close collaboration with technology companies, shipyards, and fuel providers to find innovative solutions.
ENVIRONMENT
SOCIAL
Our number one priority is the wellbeing and safety of our guests and workforce. We also want our diverse crew members to feel welcome and to have the support and training needed to develop long term careers within the company.
SOCIAL
RESPONSIBLE TOURISM
Our cruises allow people to visit some of the most beautiful and exciting destinations that the world has to offer – and we want to help to keep them that way.
We promote more responsible travel and deliver greater social and economic outcomes for communities.

SUPPLY AND VALUE CHAIN
Our cruise sustainability actions also apply to our procurement policy. Every year, we procure thousands of different items to run our operations, from engine parts to hand soap, crew uniforms to food and drink and we need to do this thoughtfully and responsibly.

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.
