DSV is examining sustainability in the UAE with a full spectrum of initiatives, ranging from environmental to social aspects. With support from specialised ESG consultants, some of the core initiatives include the installation of an 8MW solar project across 3 facilities, with an additional 2MW planned for other sites. An energy efficiency project to upgrade and automate building lights and HVAC systems is underway across 3 facilities. In terms of smart mobility, the company is converting its internal vehicles to electric vehicles (EVs) by 2026, and the professionals (PROs) are already driving 3 electric vehicles. The fleet of trucks is also transitioning to EVs, with 10 trucks already in operation and an additional 15 to be added next year. The wastewater treatment plants have processed 456,000 litres of greywater, diverting it for landscaping and HVAC use. In terms of waste, there is segregation and recycling of wood, steel, paper waste, and machines for optimised packaging and wrapping.

The ESG efforts translate into better engagement with our stakeholders, whether internal or external. Employees are incentivised to purchase EVs with subsidies provided by DSV. Employees also regularly celebrate social events like Earth Day, etc. Students from local universities are given apprentice programmes and training sessions. There is a focus on employee health through team initiatives, office greenery, and landscaping. Externally, DSV is looking to engage with their suppliers, clients, vendors, and government bodies to reinforce their sustainable material topics.
