DP World has announced that its Carbon Inset Programme has registered over 100,000 TEUs worth of import laden containers from cargo owners in the first two month of its 6-month trail which launched on 1 January. 

The programme rewards importers with 50kg CO₂e of carbon credits for every loaded import container moved through their London Gateway and Southampton terminals.

It aims to help importers reduce their indirect (Scope 3) emissions.

According to DP World, if 50% of import cargo owners register for the programme during the trial period, it will eliminate over 10,000 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions from supply chains.

About DP World’s Carbon Inset Programme

DP World’s carbon credits are generated through its subsidiary, Unifeeder, which deploys incrementally lower-carbon fuels across its Northern European shipping network.

The credits are independently verified and pooled every quarter, allowing participating companies to showcase their efforts to customers and help meet their sustainability requirements. 

DP World said its working with partners to build on achievements and believes its Modal Shift Programme will reduce customer carbon emissions by more than 17,000 tonnes in its first year.

John Trenchard, Vice President – Commercial & Supply Chain, DP World in the UK, said: “We have already seen a surge in sign-ups to the Carbon Inset Programme, putting this programme on the course to success.

“With DP World’s commitment to becoming the most efficient and sustainable logistics company in the UK, programmes like this will play a key role in meeting that goal, alongside our global ambition to reduce absolute emissions by 42% by 2030 and achieve net-zero by 2050.”
