At Santos, DP World is pairing transparent emissions reporting with investment in lower-emission operations. As part of its broader decarbonization program in Brazil, the company has committed more than BRL 100 million to electrifying its entire fleet of 22 rubber-tired gantry (RTG) cranes, avoiding approximately 3,600 tonnes of CO₂ emissions in 2025. DP World’s 2025 Sustainable Development Impact Disclosure identified RTG electrification as the primary driver of emissions reductions at Santos.
