Case Study: DP World builds finance-aligned climate leadership with Watershed

How DP World built a finance-aligned path to climate leadership with Watershed

DP World, a global logistics leader operating in more than 75 countries, needed a better way to manage sustainability data across dozens of legal entities, internal systems, and regulatory requirements. Its existing emissions tracking approach was too limited for advanced analytics, leaving the team without clear visibility into scope 3 emissions, supply chain impacts, or regional footprint differences. As sustainability and CSRD-related demands increased, DP World turned to Watershed and the Watershed platform to modernize reporting and give internal teams and customers easier access to data.

Watershed provided a finance-aligned, data-first solution that let DP World roll out a web platform quickly without upfront integrations, while still supporting audit-ready disclosures, automated data collection, and built-in analytics. The result was better visibility into emissions by region, site, and category, faster responses to RFQs and regulatory requests, and stronger CSRD preparation well ahead of deadlines. By avoiding traditional consulting-heavy implementation, DP World also saved hundreds of thousands in consultant or contractor fees, while using Watershed to support longer-term sustainable logistics goals.
