DP World has secured validation from SBTi for its ambitious commitment to reduce its carbon footprint. The firm commits to reduce scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 42 per cent in 2030 from a 2022 base year. DP World also commits to reduce scope 2 GHG emissions by 62.2 per cent and reduce absolute scope 3 GHG emissions by 28 per cent within the same timeframe. The SBTi is a leading authority in advancing private sector progress to reduce GHG emissions, helping prevent the impact of climate change. Its validation underscores the strength of DP World’s ‘Our World, Our Future’ sustainability strategy, recognising its progress-to-date and ambitious plans, which focuses on slashing its own emissions and empowering its customers to meet their own Scope 3 reduction targets.
“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,” Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, Group Chairman and CEO, DP World, said. “We are delighted to have achieved SBTi validation and we will continue to drive progress in a range of areas, including equipment electrification, renewable energy, efficiency, and low carbon fuels. 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,” Piotr Konopka, Group Vice President at DP World, Global Decarbonisation & Energy, said.
