DP World has cut more than 160,000 tonnes of CO2e emissions from UK supply <\/p>\n

chains in less than three years through expanded rail freight services, <\/p>\n

lower-carbon trucking solutions and carbon inset programmes.<\/p>\n

\"DP<\/p>\n

A key contributor has been the company\u2019s Modal Shift Programme, launched in <\/p>\n

September 2023, which has increased rail freight\u2019s share of cargo movements at <\/p>\n

Southampton from 21 per cent to more than 30 per cent. The programme has <\/p>\n

transferred over 200,000 container truck journeys from road to rail.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Alongside rail expansion, DP World UK\u2019s Low Carbon Truck Programme (LCTP) <\/p>\n

has registered more than 1,500 vehicles.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The initiative enables hauliers serving London Gateway and Southampton to <\/p>\n

switch from diesel to Hydrotreated Vegetable Oil (HVO) under its first <\/p>\n

phase.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The programme has since expanded through the Electric Vehicle Introduction <\/p>\n

and Transition Accelerator (EVITA) trial at Southampton.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The initiative allows operators to deploy electric heavy goods vehicles at <\/p>\n

parity with diesel operating costs while assessing performance in live port and <\/p>\n

logistics operations over a 12-week period.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

John Trenchard, Vice President \u2013 Sustainable Supply Chains at DP World, <\/p>\n

said: \u201cExceeding 160,000 tonnes of CO2e savings in just three years is a major <\/p>\n

milestone. We see the net zero economy as a key factor in our future growth and <\/p>\n

our ability to deliver for customers.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThis achievement demonstrates the real benefits of ports, logistics <\/p>\n

providers and customers working collaboratively to decarbonise supply chains at <\/p>\n

scale. Through initiatives spanning rail freight, lower-carbon fuels, <\/p>\n

electrification and carbon inset credits, we are helping customers reduce <\/p>\n

emissions while maintaining efficient, resilient and commercially sustainable <\/p>\n

supply chains.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The initiatives are designed to support reductions in Scope 3 emissions <\/p>\n

while maintaining supply chain efficiency and reliability.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

DP World\u2019s Carbon Inset Programme (CIP), launched in January 2025, has also <\/p>\n

expanded significantly. Registrations now exceed 250,000 TEUs of cargo after the <\/p>\n

emissions reduction credits available through the scheme increased from 50kg to <\/p>\n

250kg of CO2e per container.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, the company introduced Container Terminal Inset <\/p>\n

Certificates generated through emissions reduction projects at Southampton.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The certificates, which form part of the wider Carbon Inset Programme, <\/p>\n

allow customers to account for emissions reductions achieved through <\/p>\n

electrification, renewable electricity and lower-carbon fuels within their own <\/p>\n

decarbonisation strategies.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
