JOURNEY TO NET ZERO
The key milestones we have set on our path to net zero, guide how we cut emissions and build a more sustainable future across our global operations.
STRATEGIC REDUCTION PILLARS
ACHIEVING NET ZERO
Our five strategic reduction pillars aim to advance our decarbonisation and climate change mitigation strategy across Scope 1 and 2, with three more levers designed to manage our Scope 3 emissions.
Equipment Electrification & Efficiency
AMBITION
Reduce diesel and marine fuel consumption through electrifying equipment.
STRATEGY
Apply measures to improve equipment efficiency and transition equipment to electricity where feasible.
Process Efficiency & Digitalisation
AMBITION
Introduce innovative low-carbon technologies across the operations portfolio and maximise process efficiency.
STRATEGY
Digitalise port operations through innovation (e.g. BoxBay) and improve logistics processes.
Renewable Energy Supply
AMBITION
Procure electricity from renewable energy or carbon-neutral sources.
STRATEGY
Pursue on-site renewable energy generation, Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) and green energy tariffs.
Low Carbon Fuel Supply
AMBITION
Replace diesel and marine fuel with low or zero-carbon alternatives.
STRATEGY
Procure biofuels and transition to alternative fuels such as hydrogen.
Carbon Compensation
AMBITION
Offset emissions that cannot be avoided.
STRATEGY
Purchase carbon credits and support nature-based carbon offset solutions.

CLIMATE CHANGE STRATEGIES FAQs
How can climate change affect supply chains?
DP World addresses climate change by mitigating disruptions in supply chains caused by extreme weather, rising sea levels, and temperature shifts. Our proactive measures ensure resilience and reliability in global trade logistics.
How are DP World working towards having net zero emissions?
DP World is dedicated to achieving net zero emissions by 2050, focusing on decarbonising operations through electrification, renewable energy, and efficiency. Initiatives include low-carbon fuels, electrified equipment, and partnerships like ZEPA.
What climate change mitigation strategies does DP World have?
At DP World, we are currently working on plenty of climate change mitigation strategies. In 2024, we reached a 65% renewable electricity supply across the group, enhancing and fostering a cleaner, resilient supply chain.
What is the difference between climate change mitigation and adaptation at DP World?
DP World tackles climate change mitigation by focusing on reducing carbon emissions through cleaner tech and renewable energy sources. We also emphasise adaptation, to enhance infrastructure resilience to future climate impacts.
