DP World has received validation from the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) for its pledge to reduce its carbon footprint.
The firm has committed to reducing scope 1 GHG emissions by 42 per cent by 2030 from a 2022 base year.
The company has also committed to reducing scope 2 GHG emissions by 62.2 per cent and reducing absolute scope 3 GHG emissions by 28 per cent within the same timeframe.
This follows from previous commitments where DP World announced a 13 per cent reduction in emissions since the 2022 base year.
Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, Group Chairman and CEO, of DP World said: “DP World is committed to leading the supply chain industry towards a more sustainable and efficient future, and ultimately achieving net zero emissions by 2050.
“The SBTi’s validation confirms the strength and ambition of our plans as we remain committed to playing a pivotal role in uniting our industry for a better tomorrow.”

“Furthermore, we look forward to driving increased collaboration through industry-wide initiatives such as green trade corridors and portside electrification as seen with our Zero Emissions Port Alliance.”
