Building strong foundations to ensure we are operating responsibly.

Our World: Seven Priorities

As a global business, having strong foundations to ensure we are operating responsibly is vital to our long-term success. To achieve this, ‘Our World’ strategy focuses on efforts to operate as a responsible business across seven priority areas.

Safety

Protecting the safety and security of everyone directly or indirectly associated with our company is paramount. Our goal is to make sure everyone goes home safe by adopting a zero harm approach, and building a culture where safety is naturally ingrained into our everyday actions and mind-set.

Security

We have robust systems as supply chain security ensures the safety of our people and operations. We constantly monitor access to our terminals and operations. We work closely with the regulatory authorities to ensure the security of our premises and the integrity of our customers’ cargo, and our people.

Wellbeing

We believe in promoting the emotional, financial, social and physical wellbeing of our people to help them thrive. We’re developing a culture that prioritises wellness in all aspects of work and life, within a measurable framework that we can report on.

Ethics

DP World’s Code of Ethics sets out how we maintain international best practice in preventing conflicts of interest, fraud, insider trading, misuse of information and modern slavery. We focus on creating an honest and open culture to build trust and foster strong relationships.

Community Engagement

We use our strong relationship with communities to improve social outcomes. From direct community investment to employee volunteering and charitable giving, we invest in and improve the communities in which we operate.

Climate Change

From the scale of energy required to make and move goods to the resource intensity of logistics, we focus on measuring and managing our direct environmental impacts. Our aim is to proactively contribute to the pressing issue of global climate change.

People Development

Offering continuous development opportunities enables our colleagues to achieve strong business success and personal growth. We provide targeted learning and development experiences to give us a competitive advantage in smart trade.
