The move comes as part of the operator’s initiatives begun in 2008 to reduce its carbon emissions by 27% over five years.
DP World has invested in data collection systems at its terminals in 2010 and now it has commissioned Greenstone to further develop data gathering processes and set-up Greenstone’s Acco2unt carbon management solution
The carbon tool is tailored to DP World’s methodology, which is firmly based on the principles of the international standard, the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Standard.
Adopting Acco2unt will help DP World drive the ethos of continual improvement in documenting its carbon footprint.
Greenstone CEO Matthew de Villiers said that businesses around the world are facing a significant increase in the administrative burden and complexity of measuring and reporting carbon emissions.
"We are delighted that DP World is already seeing results from using Acco2unt and is leading the way in carbon management within the marine terminal industry," de Villiers.
