DP World has extended its Sustainable Development Impact Disclosure (SDID) to include Brazil, Senegal and South Africa, continuing its progress toward achieving the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
This follows the company’s first SDID published in April 2024, which focused on India and Somaliland.
The extended SDID report highlights DP World’s commitment to advancing sustainable development through strategic investments and demonstrates how the company is making a tangible impact across critical areas from resilient infrastructure to community engagement and gender equality.
For instance, in Brazil, DP World is collaborating with Rumo to develop a new terminal capable of handling 12.5 million tonnes of grains and fertilisers, further establishing Santos as a key hub for agricultural logistics. Similarly, in Senegal, the company has invested over US$300 million to modernise operations, increasing the terminal’s handling capacity from 265,000 TEUs in 2008 to 800,000 TEUs in 2023 enhancing the sub-regional trade connectivity and improving the reach to hard-to-access markets.
Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, DP World’s Group Chairman and CEO, said: “We are committed to investing at scale globally to strengthen trade resilience and foster positive social impacts in the communities where we operate. So we are immensely proud to extend this disclosure and highlight our contributions to advance the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and bridge gaps in key developing economies. The report shows how the services DP World delivers create infrastructure, improve logistics services and provide opportunitities for communities.”
