WATER , WOMEN AND EDUCATION
DP WORLD ’ S LEGACY PILLARS
The strategy revolves around seven responsible business priorities – Safety , Security , Wellbeing , Ethics , Community Engagement , Climate Change and People Development – that work to serve three legacy pillars : Water , Women and Education .
“ We are always looking at every aspect of our business to see what it is possible to change so that we both support our business and we support communities , the environment and economic systems ,” Sarah explains . This includes education programmes that support skill development .
“ This industry does not have a lot of women working in it , particularly when you get to the terminal operations . So , we layer lots of different goals into our programmes where we ’ re supporting education , women ’ s development and living wage jobs , and through those channels we build our workforce in that particular region . It ’ s a really wonderful way to combine sustainability goals to benefit everybody .”
The data-first approach to decarbonisation “ One of the most foundational elements of decarbonisation is data ,” Sarah says .
