DP World: Best Long-Term Community Engagement Strategy Global 2018
DP World has a well-deserved reputation for operational excellence, and a significant part of its success story is a long-standing and wholehearted commitment to sustainability principles: paying close attention to the interests of all stakeholders including those of host communities. The company works hard to minimise its impact on the environment through efficiencies in the management of natural resources and emissions. A resolute people-first policy encourages personal development and creates a safe environment in which staff members are happy to work. DP aims to grow alongside the communities in which it conducts its business and the judging panel applauds the company’s investment in a global education programme where staff take volunteering leave to instruct young people in trade and logistics. This is a second consecutive win for DP and the judges have no hesitation in naming this company for the 2018 award Best Long-Term Community Engagement Strategy Global.
