Global Volunteering Week (A Nile Cleaning Activity)

DP World Sokhna cooperated with the "Very Nile" campaign during the Global Volunteer Week event. 30 employees participated in the event organized by the campaign to clean the Nile and they were able to successfully remove 600 kilos of plastic and waste.

These events are part of DP World Sokhna’s commitment towards creating a more sustainable environment and adhering to our sustainability strategy "Our World, Our Future”. In fact, our business relies significantly on the ocean, and the belief that with the expertise in marine environments DP World will be able to make a positive and impactful contribution to its restoration.

“The Nile River is the essence of life in Egypt and is currently in crisis as a result of many polluting human activities that threaten its future. The public’s passive attitude and actions towards the river will lead to a much worse state and will negatively impact the society as a whole. As public health is endangered and pollution rates increase, we decided to be part of the solution. Thus, participating in the clean-up of the Nile, as an integral part of our scope to protect the oceans and the environment. The cleaning operations provided an opportunity to involve employees in volunteer activities, support the community and learn more about the protection and preservation of our oceans. During the event, precautionary health measures were taken by our volunteers.
