There is still a need to be conscious of fast-moving travel restrictions, and therefore a remote audit programme was implemented. There have been some positive interactions with international security bodies. The Customs Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (CTPAT) and DP World Group Security met virtually throughout the year and have begun a process of security best practice sharing. Our existing relationships with other security bodies remain, and as travel becomes easier in 2022, there is an expectation that face-to-face meetings with other security agencies will occur. These will likely include meeting with partners from Authorised Economic Operator (AEO), an EU body and the United States Department of Energy. We have continued to build our partnership with the United for Wildlife (UFW) initiative, which works with the transport and financial industries to break the chain in the illegal wildlife trade (IWT) between suppliers and consumers.
Having held virtual meetings and determined that there are significant best practice sharing opportunities, this initiative is set to grow in 2022 as we continue our efforts to disrupt wildlife trafficking. In 2022, we will also prioritise further enhancements to the security applications – in line with other departmental applications – and work on the integration of the new businesses into Group Security Management System. We will also expand and enhance our risk management tools to cover new businesses and to ensure all threats are considered, assessed and mitigation strategies are in place at each BU level. From a certification perspective, we will resume our ISO 28000 programme in 2022. Following a long period where face to face training was not possible, and online training was implemented for our global teams. We also look forward to scheduling an in-person 2022 Global Security Conference, which will enable the global security team to increase security awareness, train colleagues and share best practice and knowledge.
CASE STUDY: UNITED FOR WILDLIFE
DP World is The Principal Partner of the Royal Foundation’s United for Wildlife (UFW) initiative, and has been partners with United for Wildlife since 2015, with the aim to support the end of the illegal wildlife trade across this region and prevent the exploitation of our ports and supply chains. We are a member of the UAE Transport Taskforce Steering Committee, which leads the initiative. • DP World was appointed to lead the MENA Taskforce, which oversees the transport and financial taskforces in the region. • Led the first workshop for the UAE United for Wildlife Transport Taskforce involving stakeholders from across the transport sector including Emirates, IATA, Dubai Customs and MOCCAE. • Launched a technical assessment
of software that can prevent wildlife crime using artificial intelligence. The software will be development specifically for seaports. A working group will be established to oversee the development and execution process.
