SUSTAINABILITY FAQs
How does sustainability support DP World’s long-term business strategy?
Sustainability is integral to our long-term business strategy and value creation. By embedding Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) principles into our operations and investments, we strengthen resilience, manage risk and unlock new growth opportunities. Our focus on the four key pillars of our strategy, Planet, People, Conduct and Community, enables us to future-proof our business while supporting global trade in a sustainable way. This approach ensures we deliver long-term value for our stakeholders, including customers, partners, employees and the communities we serve.
How is DP World adapting to global sustainability trends in logistics and supply chains?
How does DP World measure the environmental impact of its investments?
We apply a structured approach to assess and manage the environmental impact of our investments. This includes conducting environmental impact assessments (EIAs) where applicable, measuring greenhouse gas emissions (Scope 1, 2 and relevant Scope 3) and monitoring key indicators such as energy consumption and waste generation. We align our measurement frameworks with international standards and continuously enhance our data collection and reporting systems to ensure transparency, accountability and informed decision-making across our portfolio.
How does DP World engage with communities near its operations?
We are committed to creating positive social impact in the communities where we operate. We actively engage with local stakeholders through regular dialogue, partnerships and community investment programmes. By working closely with community leaders, governments and NGOs, we aim to address local needs, foster inclusive growth and ensure our operations contribute meaningfully to long-term community development.
Which international sustainability standards does DP World report against?
Our sustainability performance is aligned with leading international standards and frameworks. Over the years, we have strengthened the alignment of our disclosures with the GRI Standards and the ISSB Standards (IFRS S1 and IFRS S2). We have also introduced references to the ESRS to support future readiness and comparability across jurisdictions. We report against IFRS S1, IFRS S2 and the ESRS on a best-efforts basis.
As these frameworks continue to evolve, we strive to report in line with their core principles for mandatory disclosure of our material topics. This ensures our disclosures are transparent, consistent and comparable with global best practice.
