We believe that working in a sustainable and responsible way is essential to us building a strong business for our customers, our people and our society. Our World, Our Future is our global programme to bring sustainability into every aspect of our work.

We are committed to our employees and our community. We run a programme to support local initiatives and activities, raising the aspirations of local youth through education specifically in STEM and related subjects and raising awareness of logistics and the career opportunities it provides

We have developed a sustainability plan for DP World London Gateway that outlines how we will deliver on our commitments at a local level. It considers the country and the community in which we are based and how we can have the most impact both locally and globally.

Our business depends on the sea, it is the artery of global trade and its well-being is key to our future. We have selected oceans as a focus area, to highlight their importance to us all and to join hands with partners to focus attention on them.

From schools and charity work, to our partnership with United for Wildlife and the nature reserve we created, we’re working with our community to ensure our operations create real-world, long-term benefits for the world around us.

Every member of the team has the opportunity to get involved with a range of volunteering activities aimed at improving and benefitting the local community and environment. These range from gardening, helping with mock interview days at local schools and undertaking beach cleans.

We are proud partners with several organisations that share our passion for inspiring young people to reach their potential, from the Engineering UK Robotics Challenge, to the Prince’s Trust ‘Get into Logistics’ and STEM Enthuse Partnership programme.

We are reducing our carbon footprint by working with Planet Mark - a certification programme recognising commitment to continuous improvement in sustainability. We have also committed to certifying every new building on our Logistics Park.
