Climate Change

2019

Baseline

We may not have all the decarbonisation solutions today but by setting a clear goal, embedding sustainability principles into our operations and collaborating with industry and government partners, we believe we can achieve our short- and long-term goals.

2030

Aligned with the Paris Agreement

An intermediate target of 28% reduction of our carbon footprint in response to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change 6th Assessment Report revealing the shortcomings of the global community on path to net zero by 2050.

2040

Carbon neutrality

Compensation of residual carbon emissions after maximising deep decarbonisation. We have integrated biodiversity protection and restoration initiatives as a part of our approach to climate change mitigation and are working with the right partners to achieve this.

2050

Net zero carbon emissions

We will achieve our targets by investing in zero carbon technologies, environmental activities, and carbon compensation. DP World will be the driving force of the industry to mitigate impacts of climate change.

Equipment electrification

Equipment electrification

• Established an equipment electrification capital plan for our fleet of RTGs and electric terminal tractors, with a part of our $500M investment commitment by 2027 focused on this program.


• Completed proofs of concept of electric equipment, including terminal tractors and straddle carriers.


• Consideration of electric equipment requirements and renewable energy in design and development of new projects.

Low-carbon vessels

Low-carbon vessels

• Cross-company decarbonisation working group is leading implementation of the decarbonisation strategy within the division.


• Delivery of first hybrid-electric ferry in the UK, P&O Pioneer.


• Strategic partnership with the Maersk McKinney Moller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping facilitates contribution and integration of industry-leading marine decarbonisation research.

Renewable energy procurement

Renewable energy procurement

• Achieved 22.1% renewable electricity supply across DP World Group in 2022, through green tariffs, self-generation, and certificates of origin.


• On track to surpass 60% renewable electricity supply in 2023.


• Achieved 100% renewable electricity supply at operations in Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Serbia, Brazil, Ecuador, Chile and Dry Docks World in the UAE.

Equipment efficiency

Equipment efficiency

• Started collecting detailed Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) metrics data for all terminals, logistics and marine divisions to locate inefficiencies contributing to high carbon intensity operations.


• OEE targets will be used to drive energy savings within operations.
