WHY IT MATTERS
OUR NET ZERO TARGETS 

JOURNEY TO NET ZERO

The key milestones we have set on our path to net zero, guide how we cut emissions and build a more sustainable future across our global operations.

OUR CLIMATE CHANGE LOGISTICS SOLUTIONS

We’re making tangible progress on sustainability by cutting emissions, boosting efficiency, and investing in cleaner infrastructure across our global network.

  • Crane in yard

    Equipment electrification 

    We’re scaling electrification across our fleet, with proof of concept for electric terminal tractors and straddle carriers, and integrating renewable energy into future project design.

  • Sunset at Jebel Ali terminal

    Low-carbon vessels improvement

    From hybrid-electric ferries to dual-fuel methanol ships, we’re investing in cleaner vessels and shore power while driving marine decarbonisation with global research partnerships.

  • 4c999f3b186c70f39339565ce1acd397

    Renewable energy procurement

    In 2024, 65% of our electricity came from renewables. We reached 100% in nine countries and completed the Middle East’s largest rooftop solar project at Jebel Ali.

  • Solar power stations

    Increased equipment efficiency

    We track OEE data to identify inefficiencies, optimise operations, and cut emissions. In Callao alone, digitalisation and process improvements saved over 1,000 tonnes of CO₂.

    • STRATEGIC REDUCTION PILLARS

    ACHIEVING NET ZERO

    Our five strategic reduction pillars aim to advance our decarbonisation and climate change mitigation strategy across Scope 1 and 2, with three more levers designed to manage our Scope 3 emissions.
     

    Reduce diesel and marine fuel consumption through electrifying equipment.

    Introduce innovation and low-carbon technologies in the operations portfolio and maximise process efficiency. 

    Produce electricity from renewable energy from carbon-neutral sources.

    Produce low- or zero-carbon fuels to replace diesel and marine fuel. 

    Invest in projects that reduce or remove carbon emissions.

    Compensate the remaining Scope 3 emissions that cannot be avoided with carbon insetting credits.

    Work with suppliers to help them decarbonise. Our decarbonisation goals cannot be achieved in isolation, as 65% of our Scope 3 emissions originate from the suppliers we work with.

    Improve measurement accuracy to move from an industry average spend-based methodology to a unit-based methodology by understanding the exact emissions of our supply chain.

    THE IMPACT OF OUR CLIMATE CHANGE SOLUTIONS

    We’re turning bold ideas into practical end-to-end solutions that cut emissions, boost efficiency, and build resilience. This is how we’re shaping a more sustainable future.

  • Terminal operations at Jebel Ali terminal

    Retrofitting Terminal Tractors

    We’re retrofitting 30% of terminal tractors in Jebel Ali with electric components by 2028, reducing diesel use, lowering emissions, and extending vehicle lifespan.

  • Forklift in warehouse

    Intelligent Storage Systems

    Our BoxBay system triples yard capacity, cuts reshuffling, runs on solar, and uses electric cranes. Since 2016, we’ve invested $4B in technology to boost efficiency.

  • Aerial shot of cranes at Southampton

    Sustainably Sourced HVO

    Switching to Hydro-treated Vegetable Oil (HVO) in the UK has cut carbon by 90%, saving 14,000 tonnes annually. Southampton and London Gateway are now fully HVO powered.

  • Green rice field

    Regenerative Agriculture

    In partnership with Boomitra, we remove CO₂ through regenerative farming. Our Ocean Strategy restores mangroves and protects biodiversity in key coastal zones.

  • Ecuador Posorja Mangrove Restoration Project

    Mangroves in Ecuador

    We’ve planted over 200,000 mangroves with CALISUR, capturing 3M tonnes of CO₂, equal to the output of 950 wind turbines, while protecting coastlines and communities.

  • Windmill

    Renewable Energy Certification

    Our Chile team uses 100% renewable energy, avoiding 7.8 kilotonnes of CO₂ annually. Globally, 18 of our sites now run on, or are close to, fully renewable power.

  • Solar panels

    Powering the Horn of Africa

    Berbera port in Somaliland is powered by 8MW of solar via Berbera Electric Company, reducing emissions and supporting growth into a green regional trade hub.
