DP WORLD ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE REPORT 2021

OUR WORLD, OUR FUTURE
WE HAVE A LONG-STANDING COMMITMENT TO SUSTAINABILITY AND HAVE FOCUSED THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS AIM VIA ‘OUR WORLD, OUR FUTURE’, OUR SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY. WE HAVE EMBEDDED THIS STRATEGY INTO CONCRETE ACTIONS THAT CAN BE TAKEN THROUGHOUT OUR GLOBAL OPERATIONS FOR MAXIMUM LOCAL IMPACT.
Our annual report has historically outlined our sustainability goals and tracked our achievements against them. We also share this information on the ESG Profile on our website which discloses our adherence to best practice. However, as our sustainability strategy evolves and our global commitments increase, we believe the time has come to create a dedicated, standalone report that enables all our key stakeholders to have a single document of record that tracks our sustainability efforts and progress. This inaugural ESG report will: • Continue to provide evidence of our responsible business priorities and how we embed sustainability in our strategic decision making – particularly in our chosen focus areas of oceans, women, and education
• Help stakeholders track our progress against key sustainability goals • Provide concrete examples of our strategy implementation around the world Even though this is the first report of its kind for us, we would like to stress that several things have not changed in our approach.
We have always believed that the senior executives of the company should be stewards of the strategy, and this commitment will endure in the future. Finally, we are believers that ESG can be a tool for driving continuous improvement and better business performance. The case studies, partnerships, events and thought leadership initiatives we have included in the report will provide evidence of our ongoing efforts to implement our ESG strategy globally, and how these initiatives have both benefited our business and the communities in which we operate.
First and foremost, our governance commitment remains the same: the
DP World Governance and Sustainability Committee is represented at Board level and is directly responsible and accountable for the Group’s ESG strategy and its results.
