A good corporate citizen

In an age of increasing accountability and transparency, it is important for any company to recognise its social responsibilities. The JL name has been synonymous with corporate integrity for over a century. We intend to keep it that way, not only because it makes good moral sense, but also because it makes sound business sense.

As one of the world's leading shipping companies, perhaps our areas of greatest social responsibility are protection of the environment, safety at sea and maritime security - issues that affect not only JL employees, but also the countries we operate in and the oceans we traverse.

Maintaining a high level of corporate integrity begins at home, and JL strives to provide the best possible working environment for its employees worldwide. We foster a corporate culture conducive to both personal and professional growth and development. This allows us to attract - and retain - like-minded, talented people who thrive in a challenging international environment.

Finally, through our parent organisation, Lauritzen Fonden (The Lauritzen Foundation) JL interacts with society on many levels, funding worthwhile social and artistic projects in Denmark and abroad. The Lauritzen Foundation is recognised for its social and humanitarian work and interest in cultural activities. Each year, a sizeable amount of its funds are donated to such causes.
