Better Health for All
0
Hapag-Lloyd's core business of container shipping is generally health-neutral, but it facilitates health-positive outcomes by transporting medical equipment and food.
1
The company actively contributes to health through initiatives such as providing 206 prosthetic limbs to 195 rural amputees in India, supporting access to 45,000 safe drinking water bags in low-income countries, and conducting menstrual hygiene awareness sessions.

It also supports educational programs like UNICEF's "Schools for Africa" and a digital "Learning Passport," and ensures equal opportunities without discrimination based on health status or disability.

The company has an outstanding safety record for user harm, with no reportable incidents related to dangerous goods since 2020, despite transporting approximately 4% of its total volume as dangerous goods in 2024.
5
It also maintains industry-leading risk disclosures, including annual risk analyses, a 24/7 "Speak Up Line," and public reporting on human rights and environmental due diligence.

However, Hapag-Lloyd's operations generate significant negative health externalities, with 2024 total GHG emissions (location-based) at 36,351 k tons CO2e and substantial air pollutant emissions (e.g., 394,684 tons of Nitrogen oxides).
7
While the company aims for net-zero fleet operations by 2045 and reduced GHG emissions by 0.8 million tons in 2023, the scale of these externalities remains large.

The company does not offer health-related products or services requiring price accessibility, nor does it engage in preventative health or treatment activities for the general public. Its data protection measures are for general IT security, not specifically health data. Mental health, preventative health, and healthcare workforce support initiatives are focused on internal employee well-being. Investment in alternative fuels and propulsion technologies is aimed at environmental sustainability rather than direct health outcomes.
