MORE SUSTAINABLE
OPERATIONS

At DP World UK, sustainability is at the forefront of our decision-making. We ensure our operations create real-world, long-term benefits for our customers, the environments we rely on and operate in, and bring positive change to the communities around us, and beyond.

Energy Transition Contribution

DP World UK has invested in many measures to enable sustainable trade across our operations. We have made significant progress to reduce carbon emissions through maximising efficiency, using renewable energy and displacing fossil fuels and introducing innovative decarbonisation initiatives to help customers reduce their Scope 3 emissions with further projects in the pipeline.

 

Our Energy Transition Contribution (ETC) supports cleaner energy choice by funding the transition from diesel to alternatives like Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) and electricity. Programmes such as our Modal Shift Programme, Carbon Inset Programme and our latest Low Carbon Truck Trial are driving change to greener, cleaner modes of freight and fulfillment for cargo owners and transport providers to actively reduce their Scope 3 emissions in a verified and impactful way.

 

To continue to contribute towards the energy transition investments, the Energy Transition Contribution will be reviewed on a regular basis at both DP World UK ports.
