A major logistics and trade operator based in the United Arab Emirates has reached a remarkable milestone, sourcing 65% of its electricity from renewable energy in 2024. This achievement marks a significant leap toward a greener and more resilient supply chain future.
According to its latest Sustainability Report, over $1.17 billion was invested in low-carbon infrastructure projects, highlighting a strong commitment to reducing environmental impact while enhancing operational efficiency. Key initiatives include fleet electrification, deployment of renewable energy systems, and the development of sustainable finance programs aimed at supporting eco-friendly marine and port infrastructure.
The organization also pioneered the issuance of a $100 million bond dedicated to sustainable marine and port projects, setting a new benchmark for green finance across emerging markets. Furthermore, it became the first globally to publish a Sustainable Development Impact Disclosure Report across five countries, in line with Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards and IFRS S2 Climate guidelines.
These forward-thinking actions not only demonstrate leadership in sustainability but also reinforce the vital role the supply chain sector plays in driving global efforts toward climate resilience. By embedding green practices into core operations, the UAE continues to strengthen its position as a hub for sustainable and responsible trade.
