OUR WORLD, SECURITY
AS A LEADING GLOBAL SMART LOGISTICS PROVIDER, SECURING OUR SUPPLY CHAIN IS CRITICAL TO KEEP TRADE OPERATING SAFELY AND SECURELY.
This means managing, reviewing and updating our security management systems to ensure long-term protection and resilience. This is achieved through the efficient integration and application of people, processes, and technology in our security operations. Our key objective is to keep our people, assets, and business secure. We seek to provide a secure environment where our people and stakeholders can undertake seamless and uninterrupted business operations. People, processes, and technology are all integrated and leveraged in our security approach, aiming for resilient operations that can withstand disruptive events. 2021 saw the world beginning to awaken from a challenging time. The global pandemic, whilst still ongoing, wasn’t as restrictive as we saw in 2020. Countries allowed travel to begin again, and global trade increased. With the world set to reopen in 2022, security remains of paramount importance. Our approach has not changed over the last year. The DP World Group Security policy has continued to govern all security management across the portfolio, but 2021 has seen a shift in policy publishing timeframes to better serve business units, which was decided upon after receiving feedback from across the group.

Despite these challenges around the implementation of the ISO standard, additional business units communicated their desire to conduct ISO 28000 certification in the coming year. We believe this management system provides a broad and flexible security framework, which individual business units can use to enhance their
The Group Technology security policies apply to all employees and other stakeholders including contractors, suppliers, consultants and service providers, and any breach may lead to disciplinary action. We have built upon our security incident reporting capacities, with a new incident reporting system. This new system allows an easier way for business units to report pertinent security incidents. Our security profile application allows a business unit to share with Group Security all relevant security management, risk management and compliance information related to the location. With global travel being easier this year, Group Security has continued its onsite audits and security reviews.
risk management, compliance, and emergency response capabilities.
Senior-level oversight of our Security approach includes our Chairman’s review and endorsement of our cyber security policies, which are ever more important given the digitisation of our smart trade logistics strategy.
