TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE

The MSC Foundation leads and advances all the MSC Group's life-changing conservation and humanitarian commitments, saving thousands of lives.

Our programmes include supporting researchers and marine experts to restore the coral reefs and to protect the marine ecosystem at Ocean Cay; supporting UNICEF in the Ivory Coast to foster a women-empowering recycling market that makes plastic waste into low-cost bricks to build much-needed classrooms.

In Haiti, we're supporting the Andrea Bocelli Foundation's life-changing Mobil Clinic. In Senegal, we're supporting Mercy Ships to provide lifesaving operations in remote areas. In the Mediterranean, we're with Marevivo, raising youth awareness of marine protection and sea pollution.

At MSC Foundation we work to restore the critical balance between people and nature, using MSC's global reach and unique knowledge of the sea to take immediate action to protect and nurture the "blue planet", its people and cultural heritage.

RESTORING THE OCEAN ENVIRONMENT

The United Nations estimates all wild coral risks extinction from climate change this century. The Ocean Cay Marine Restoration Programme is our effort to prevent that. The MSC Foundation and a panel of conservation experts are working to protect, restore and nurturing 64 square miles of marine waters and ecosystems populated by one of the most vulnerable sets of coral species on the planet. At the same time, we are in the process to set up a biological laboratory for research and education purposes.

PRESERVING AND PROTECTING THE OCEANS

MSC Cruises has been committed to a path of sustainability since its inception in 2003 and the journey moves apace each and every day.

Every ship class that the Company introduces further enhances the level of environmental performance of the previous ship class and is equipped with an extensive range of state-of-the-art features and innovative technologies.

A particular focus is on minimising air emissions, with systems in place to meet or exceed regulatory limits, and extensive efforts to reduce our carbon emissions profile, including extensive energy efficiency measures on board every ship. All ships in MSC Cruises’ fleet are

equipped with modern and effective mechanisms to reduce, recycle and reuse waste that is generated on board and in an effort to eliminate single-use plastics from its shipboard operations, the Company has removed or replaced the majority of single use plastic items.

Every ship in the fleet has a dedicated full-time Environmental Officer responsible for environmental compliance and providing training and education to all crew to ensure effective environmental management.
