DP World Southampton offers carbon insets

[ April 20, 2026   //   ]

DP World has launched a carbon inset scheme at its Southampton terminal, allowing customers to claim a share of emissions reductions generated at the port towards their own supply chain targets.

Container Terminal Inset Certificates are created through emissions reductions through the use of biofuels, electrification and generation of renewable electricity. These savings are then converted into uniquely allocated certificates that customers can use to report lower Scope 3 emissions across their supply chains. Customers will receive independently verified documentation to support their sustainability reporting.

DP World’s Carbon Inset Programme, which was introduced in January 2025 in partnership with global Carbon insetting platform 123Carbon, has so far registered more than 250,000 TEU of cargo in its first year, issuing over 9,000 tonnes of CO₂e savings. Originally scheduled to be a 12-month trial, the Carbon Inset Programme was subsequently extended to 31 December 2026.
