DP WORLD SENEGAL

In 2017 we initiated the Cervical Cancer Prevention Programme, in partnership with LISCA (Senegalese League Against Cancer) to train health agents in Senegal, and help screen women. The programme provides health centres equipped with cryotherapy devices for precancerous lesions treatment.

Since the initiation, there has been a decrease in female mortality as a result of cervical and breast cancer. The programme ensures the health and wellbeing of women in the society. 

Funded the neonatology unit at Aristide Le Damtec Hospital care facility for premature babies. The investment, which has the greatest impact for low income families, will significantly decrease the mortality of new-borns.

Education is one of the key areas of focus of our sustainability progreamme. Global education needs are urgent in developing economies like Senegal and we have rolled out the programme through several schools since its launch in 2016.

The programme has boosted young people’s skills and confidence, and has developed the talent pipeline of future employees by raising awareness of the maritime sector and future job opportunities.

In 2015, in partnership with a Swiss NGO, we built a nursery school in Mbam, in the Saloum Islands - 200km from the Senegalese Capital of Dakar.

Improving the education of children and allowing them to have a better future, particularly for low-income families. Enables mothers to have their own income generating activities while the kindergarten takes care of children. 

The ‘Our World, Our Future’ sustainability strategy helps us to work in a responsible way that prioritises positive impact on the people, communities, and environments in which we operate.

Through the initiatives we run, we aspire to lead global trade into a more resilient, efficient, and sustainable future for you and your customers.
