DP World extends carbon scheme

[ May 19, 2025   //   Chris Lewis ]

DP World has issued the first certificates from its Carbon Inset Programme, after more than 150,000 import containers were registered since its launch in January.

The trial, which began on 1 January,  rewards cargo owners with 50kg CO2e of carbon credits for every loaded import container moved through DP World’s UK terminals and helps them tackle Scope 3 emissions in their supply chains.

Originally set to run for six months, the programme has now been extended to the end of the year due to strong demand, giving cargo owners more opportunities to register and claim carbon credits. 

Unlike offsets, which involve external projects like mangrove planting, carbon insets address emissions at the source by targeting reductions in a company’s own supply chain, for example by using cleaner fuels or more efficient transport.
