It was a tremendous pleasure to host fellow Chief Sustainability Officers and esteemed leaders, Ramon Arratia, Venetia Bell, Lorena Dellagiovanna, Marisa Drew and Morten Dyrholm in the DP World Pavilion at the World Economic Forum today.
We had engaging discussions that highlighted the urgent need to rethink how we approach sustainable and inclusive growth. One thing was made clear – we are united in advancing sustainable impact on a global scale.
As leaders in sustainability, we recognise the delicate interplay between business imperatives and the planet's welfare. Today's discussions revolved around embedding resilience and equity into business fundamentals, ensuring sustainability is central to our long-term strategies. We shared successes and tackled challenges in bringing sustainability to the forefront of corporate governance, underscoring the necessity of collaborative, cross-sectoral efforts to enact meaningful change.
In recognising our ever-evolving roles, we prioritise climate mitigation and adaptation, tailoring sustainability strategies to different markets and communities. At DP World, we place significant importance on conducting environmental and social impact assessments, surpassing minimum standards to ensure environmentally responsible operations. This includes implementing mitigation plans and actively seeking opportunities to make a positive impact.
Empowered by today's exchange with fellow sustainability leaders, I am confident that our collective efforts and insights will contribute to profound and lasting transformative change. Together, we can forge a path toward a more sustainable, equitable future, catalysing a ripple effect that transcends boardrooms and positively impacts communities worldwide.

1wA decreasing trend in overall water withdrawal can be observed, which is encouraging! When the Pareto principle is applied to the shared data, it becomes evident that focus should be placed on the municipal/third-party water supply and reuse, as it is responsible for an average of 78% of the total water withdrawal. The most significant impact on overall water conservation could potentially be achieved by prioritizing improvements in this area. Congratulations and keep it up!
