Total Scope 3 emissions for 2022 were approximately 4,820,000,000 kg CO2e, encompassing categories such as 7,815,000 kg CO2e from investments, 398,406,000 kg CO2e from capital goods, 4,596,000 kg CO2e from business travel, 34,562,000 kg CO2e from employee commute, 14,159,000 kg CO2e from upstream leased assets, 255,203,000 kg CO2e from downstream leased assets, 499,048,000 kg CO2e from purchased goods and services, 44,417,000 kg CO2e from waste generated in operations, 668,535,000 kg CO2e from fuel and energy-related activities, and 1,428,464,000 kg CO2e from upstream transportation and distribution.

In 2021, DP World's total emissions were approximately 3,230,868,000 kg CO2e, with Scope 1 emissions at 2,703,055,000 kg CO2e (including 34,011,000 kg CO2e from fugitive emissions and 2,673,066,000 kg CO2e from stationary combustion) and market-based Scope 2 emissions at 526,285,000 kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions for 2021 were 1,528,000 kg CO2e, primarily from business travel.

Climate Commitments:

DP World is committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions across its entire value chain by 2050, using a 2022 baseline. This net-zero target is cascaded from its parent company, DP World FZE, and is approved by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

The company has set several near-term and long-term reduction targets:

• Near-term (by 2030, from a 2022 baseline):
  • Reduce Scope 1 GHG emissions by 42%.
  • Reduce Scope 2 GHG emissions by 62.2%.
  • Reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 28%.
• Long-term (by 2050, from a 2022 baseline):
  • Achieve a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 GHG emissions.

DP World has demonstrated progress in emissions reduction, reporting a year-on-year carbon footprint reduction of over 3% in 2024, and a 15% reduction compared to the baseline for Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions, since 2022. These targets and achievements reflect DP World's dedication to mitigating its environmental impact within the sea and coastal water transportation services industry.
