DP World-led Carbon Inset Programme increases credits fivefold

DP World’s Carbon Inset Programme credits will see a fivefold increase, helping businesses to reduce their indirect (Scope 3) emissions.

Following the programme’s initial success, which has seen over 200,000 teu worth of registrations since January this year, every loaded container imported through DP World’s UK ports from October 1, 2025, will qualify for Carbon Inset Credits of 250kg CO₂e, up from the 50kg CO₂e of credits previously offered.

The additional carbon credits address the emissions associated with the entire port call of container ships when manoeuvring into London Gateway or Southampton over their ‘last nautical mile’, including the emissions of tug and pilot boats.
