Climate change

2022

Base year

We may not have all the decarbonisation solutions today but by setting a clear goal, embedding sustainability principles and climate change solutions into our operations, and collaborating with industry and government partners, we believe we can achieve our short- and long-term goals.

2030

Near-term science-based target

Committed to reducing scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 42% by 2030 from a 2022 base year, aligned with the 1.5-degree trajectory. Further committed to reducing absolute scope 3 GHG emissions by 28% within the same timeframe. Our targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi).

2050

Net zero carbon emissions

Committed to reach net zero GHG emissions across the value chain by 2050, by reducing scope 1, 2, and 3 GHG emissions by at least 90% from a 2022 base year. We will achieve our targets by investing in technology, implementing responsible business practices and working with the right partners along our value chain.

Equipment electrification

Equipment electrification

• Established an equipment electrification capital plan for our fleet of RTGs and electric terminal tractors, with a part of our $500M investment commitment by 2027 focused on this program.


• Completed proofs of concept of electric equipment, including terminal tractors and straddle carriers.


• Consideration of electric equipment requirements and renewable energy in the design and development of new projects.

Low-carbon vessels

Low-carbon vessels

• Cross-company decarbonisation working group is leading the implementation of the decarbonisation strategy within the division.


• Delivery of the first hybrid-electric ferry in the UK, P&O Pioneer.


• Strategic partnership with the Maersk McKinney Moller Center for Zero Carbon Shipping facilitates contribution and integration of industry-leading marine decarbonisation research.

Renewable energy procurement

Renewable energy procurement

• Achieved 22.1% renewable electricity supply across DP World Group in 2022, through green tariffs, self-generation, and certificates of origin.


• On track to surpass 60% renewable electricity supply in 2023.


• Achieved 100% renewable electricity supply at operations in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Serbia, Brazil, Ecuador, Chile, and Dry Docks World in the UAE.

Equipment efficiency

Equipment efficiency

• Started collecting detailed Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE) metrics data for all terminals, logistics, and marine divisions to locate inefficiencies contributing to high carbon intensity operations.


• OEE targets will be used to drive energy savings within operations.
