Supporting growth at a local level has always been an integral part of our business. We're proud to be recognised for this award and to see these communities and their people flourish. Special thanks to Barefoot College International for their continued partnership.
We are proud to announce that the Solar Mamas initiative of DP World Dakar has been honoured with the 'Community Involvement Program of the Year’ award in the EMEA region at the 2024 Environmental Finance Sustainable Company Awards. These awards recognise companies that actively drive change in their approach to sustainability by aligning their resources, operations and business model to meet sustainability targets. As a business, we are deeply honoured to receive this recognition, as it validates the core of our sustainability strategy, which commits us to fostering sustainable development and making a lasting impact in the communities in which we operate. Our partnership with Barefoot College International (BCI) has transformed lives in unelectrified rural areas of Senegal by training women in solar energy. This program not only provides essential electricity to off-grid areas but also creates new job opportunities, enhances education, and improves public health. We extend our congratulations and gratitude to our incredible team at DP World Dakar and partners for making this achievement possible. Read more: https://lnkd.in/dGRqjuqd
