DP World has won two new awards at the 2024 SEAL Business Sustainability Awards which honours leadership, innovation, and commitment to sustainable business practices.
SEAL Sustainability Awards honorees ranged from well-recognised brands to high-growth start-ups and scale-ups. DP World’s first win – Environmental Initiative Award – was given to DP World Santos for its re-use of waste material for energy, which would otherwise be destined for a landfil site.
DP World was also honoured for its development of BOXBAY, a revolutionary automated, safe and environmentally friendly high-bay storage container system. The SEAL Sustainable Innovation Award recognises BOXBAY’s potential to transform the way containers are stacked, organised and moved, significantly reducing a terminal’s carbon emissions impact.
DP World Group Chairman and CEO, Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, said,
"We are honoured to receive the Environmental Initiatives Award and the Sustainable Innovation Award at this year's SEAL Awards. Winning the Environmental Initiatives Award for our work at DP World Santos in Brazil, where we've achieved the feat of reusing 100 percent of the waste generated at the port, underscores DP World's commitment to the responsible management of its waste through adopting circular economy principles and smart design. Additionally, being recognised with the SEAL Sustainable Innovation Award for our BOXBAY technology is a testament to our dedication to revolutionising container port logistics for greater efficiency and sustainability."
