DP World Strengthens Commitment to Sustainability by Enrolling Three Additional Terminals in Green Marine

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, November 19, 2024 /3BL/ - DP World, a global leader in logistics and supply chain solutions, has deepened its commitment to environmental stewardship by enrolling three additional Canadian terminals – Vancouver, Nanaimo, and Saint John – in the Green Marine program. This expansion builds on the company's long-standing participation, with its Prince Rupert terminal holding Green Marine certification since 2013.

Doug Smith, CEO of DP World Canada, stated, "Our commitment to sustainability drives us to integrate rigorous environmental practices across our operations. Green Marine has provided invaluable guidance at Prince Rupert, and we look forward to leveraging their support to further enhance our sustainability efforts across these additional terminals."

David Bolduc, Green Marine President and CEO, said: "We are very pleased to welcome three more DP World terminals in Canada. DP World's commitment to completing the certification process for four of its terminals illustrates environmental leadership that we hope will be followed by other marine companies."

The Green Marine environmental program addresses several environmental priority issues through its 14 performance indicators, including air emissions, greenhouse gases, spill prevention, waste management, and community relations. The certification process is rigorous and transparent, with the individual performance of each participant made public annually and the results independently verified every two years.
