Powering Sustainable Trade: DP World's Global Blueprint for a Net-Zero Future
At DP World, sustainability is not a 'nice to have' initiative – it is foundational to how we build trade infrastructure, operate globally, and deliver impact locally. As the effects of climate change intensify, our responsibility is twofold: to reduce emissions across operations and to build resilience in the communities and ecosystems we serve.
From South America to the Horn of Africa, DP World is not just reducing emissions – we're rewriting what climate leadership looks like for global corporations.
Setting the Course: DP World's Net-Zero Roadmap
To tackle the climate crisis with ambition and accountability, DP World committed to a clearly defined and science-based decarbonization pathway.
With 2022 established as our base year for tracking emissions, we set a 2030 target to reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 42% and Scope 3 emissions by 28%. By 2050, the goal is net-zero emissions across the full lifecycle of our end-to-end shipping and logistics services.
This will be achieved through equipment electrification and efficiency, digitalization of processes, renewable energy use, low-carbon fuel production, and carbon compensation to offset unavoidable footprints.
Turning Strategy into Impact: DP World's Track Record of Results
These environmental goals are built on a long history of sustainable operations in communities and regions across the world. Through partnerships spanning the nonprofit, government, and private sector, we have delivered results, including:
Leading Trade Toward a Sustainable Future
As the climate crisis escalates, DP World is stepping forward with solutions that are bold, inclusive, and scalable. Our approach delivers tangible climate benefits while positioning trade as a force for sustainability and resilience.
The road to net zero isn't linear. But with the right partnerships, the right policies, and a deep sense of purpose – DP World is reshaping the global energy system from our position at the world's trade gateways.

China grants rare earth export permits after US trade talks, offers relief but uncertainty persists
OMAHA, Neb. — The high-level negotiations over China's export controls of rare earths is giving U.S. businesses some relief, even though it may be only for now. China has approved 'a certain number' of export permits for rare earth elements and related items, its commerce ministry said on Thursday, one day after U.S. President Donald Trump declared that Beijing would supply to the U.S. companies those key elements and the magnets made from them following a two-day trade talk in London .

Vietnam Has Far Bigger Worries Than Its Baby Bust
Vietnam rightly worries about the harm US tariffs will inflict on its success, and even more bullish aspirations. The levies will slow an economy that's racked up impressive rates of growth. The past few months have also revealed a challenge of a different nature: A declining birth rate. This is a country, often hailed as a development model, that has a lot on its plate. It should avoid going overboard on sweating demographics. That's not an existential issue — yet. In some ways, the trend toward fewer births could even be called a victory. Trade, linked so intimately with the decades-old industrialization plan, is the more vital front. The setting of priorities is important, but they can travel on two tracks.

As American Architects Gather in Boston, Retrofits Are All the Rage
At the American Institute of Architects conference last week in Boston, those dressed in black — unofficial uniform of uber-creative design professionals — seemed to be outnumbered. The architects prowling the convention center were more likely to be sporting button-down Oxfords or Patagonia, on their way to such sessions as 'Next-Level Roofs: Energy Efficiency, Embodied Carbon, and Code Compliance.' An architectural trend can't be based on a wardrobe census, of course, but a shift toward more practical, sustainability-oriented work was palpable. And increasingly, that means working on retrofits, rather than creating snazzy new structures. AIA billings survey data in 2022 revealed that architects for the first time were earning more revenue for commissions on existing buildings than new construction. Recent Pritzker Prize wins by Lacaton & Vassal and David Chipperfield represent high-profile recognition of advances in restoration and renovation. Rules are being put in place to encourage adaptive reuse, as in Los Angeles, or to promote a circular economy and limit demolition, as in San Antonio. Those ordinances are alongside financial incentives offered by several local governments for converting office buildings to residential use.
