DP World cuts carbon emissions by 5% in 2022

The ESG report, published last week, was developed in accordance with the latest Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards.

Over the course of 2022, DP World has tightened its ESG Governance and Risk Management framework, launched an Executive Sustainability Council to provide strategic guidance on the group’s sustainability strategy and ESG metrics, integrated ESG as a risk into our corporate enterprise risk register, and published its first stand-alone ESG Report for 2021.

“We believe in enabling resilience, and building a smart and sustainable future that generates long-term societal impact. In 2022 we saw continued global headwinds but that challenged us to push new frontiers of collaboration. I’m proud that we have cut our direct carbon emissions by 5%, and significantly increased our community contributions,” said Maha AlQattan, Group Chief People and Sustainability Officer, DP World.

DP World has already committed to becoming carbon neutral by 2040 and net zero carbon by 2050 in line with the UAE’s 2050 net zero.

In November at COP 27, the DP World chairman announced that DP World had joined the Green Shipping Challenge and committed to investing up to $500m to cut CO2 emissions by nearly 700,000 tonnes over the next five years.
