DP World published its Blue Bond Allocation and Impact Report after its landmark $100 million blue bond issuance in December 2024, which was the first corporate blue bond from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, and the first by a global port operator. 

It was also the first corporate blue bond from the broader Central & Eastern Europe, Middle East and North Africa region.

Aligned with the International Capital Market Association Harmonised Framework for Impact Reporting, the report lists metrics and outcomes related to emissions avoided annually, marine ecosystem restoration, and community benefits. Independent external review further enhances its credibility.

As of December 2025, DP World reports that $67.6 million has been allocated to eligible projects. Proceeds are directed across blue categories, including sustainable marine transport, marine ecosystem management, marine pollution, and sustainable ports.

A Middle East Transition Finance Awards judge commended DP World for "setting the stage for blue finance" and said the firm was "well positioned to help drive development in this emerging space".
