DP World achieves carbon neutrality by generating solar energy through PV panels
To mark DP World’s attainment of carbon neutrality from its global headquarters in Dubai, Dubai Carbon has issued a certificate for Net Zero Carbon Emissions to Nabil Battal, VP Group Health, DP World.
DP World’s global headquarters in Jebel Ali is now carbon neutral with regards to its consumption, as a result of installing solar photovoltaic (PV) panels on the building’s rooftop and car park.
In line with its core competency of low carbon strategic economic enablers, Dubai Carbon calculated that DP World has achieved carbon neutrality by generating solar energy through PV panels. This bold sustainable statement from DP World positions the organisation as a key contributor in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and subsequently combating climate change.
“DP World reaffirms our commitment to helping the Dubai Government reach its goal of reducing the city’s energy demand by 25% by 2030 in line with the Dubai Integrated Energy Strategy. The future of our country lies in businesses integrating green technologies as a part their daily operations,” affirmed Battal.
“DP World’s efforts reflect the regions strict targets that have been put in to place to reduce carbon emissions in the future, such as through Dubai’s Carbon Abatement Strategy 2021,” commented Ivano Ionelli, CEO, Dubai Carbon.
The issuing of the Net Zero Carbon Emissions Certificate further strengthens DP World’s commitment to using solar energy, reflecting the goals of both the Dubai Integrated Energy Strategy (DIES) 2030 and The Dubai Clean Energy Strategy 2050 campaigns.
