Our World, Our Future
As a global logistics leader, DP World enables smarter trade to create a better future for everyone.
DP World’s sustainability strategy is designed to deliver responsible operations and helps prioritise sustainability and impact on the people, communities and environment in which we operate.
Global trade has been an enormous force for good in recent decades. But it’s increasingly clear that this growth is not without consequence – from the scale of energy required to make, move and use goods to the resource intensity of logistics and the challenges economic growth can bring.
Environment
DP World Limassol follows green business practices, fostering an environmentally conscious workplace. We also strive to minimise our environmental impact by better managing natural resources and emissions.
Specifically, we plan to install solar panels within the terminal with an eventual capacity of 2.5MW. The solar panels will reduce the port’s emissions as they will produce clean energy for all customers and port users.
DP World Limassol is also working closely with Cypriot authorities and stakeholders to develop onshore power supply infrastructure that will serve vessels docking at Limassol port, as part of an EU-funded project.
Furthermore, we are in the process of replacing our terminal lighting with energy-efficient LED lights to limit greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and light pollution. The new lighting will also allow for safer operations at nighttime.
At the same time, we regularly carry out beach clean-ups in cooperation with CYMEPA as part of our effort to protect the environment and raise environmental awareness among our employees.
Environmental stewardship at DP World means playing our part to preserve our planet for future generations, by reducing emissions across our global portfolio, protecting ecosystems and enhancing and restoring oceans.
Education
Furthermore, we aim to inspire and engage the youth by providing them with equitable access to education, skills for the future, and exposure to the maritime industry through internships.
To this end, DP World Limassol has signed agreements with two local universities, Frederick University and the Cyprus University of Technology (TEPAK) offering full scholarships, as well as paid internship opportunities to students.
Both agreements also cover the joint organisation of scientific conferences and seminars, collaboration on research projects and areas of common interest, exposure to the maritime industry through work experience and sponsored field trips to renowned international maritime organizations.
Over the past few years, DP World Limassol has provided internships to students from both universities who are pursuing a degree in shipping or related fields, with a number of them being offered permanent positions.
