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
Reduce diesel and marine fuel consumption through electrifying equipment.
Process Efficiency & Digitalisation
Introduce innovation and low-carbon technologies in the operations portfolio and maximise process efficiency.
Renewable Energy Supply
Produce electricity from renewable energy from carbon-neutral sources.
Low Carbon Fuel Supply
Produce low- or zero-carbon fuels to replace diesel and marine fuel.
Carbon Compensation
Invest in projects that reduce or remove carbon emissions.
Carbon Insetting
Compensate the remaining Scope 3 emissions that cannot be avoided with carbon insetting credits.
Engaging Suppliers
Work with suppliers to help them decarbonise. Our decarbonisation goals cannot be achieved in isolation, as 65% of our Scope 3 emissions originate from the suppliers we work with.
Increasing the Granularity of Reporting
Improve measurement accuracy to move from an industry average spend-based methodology to a unit-based methodology by understanding the exact emissions of our supply chain.

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.
