Sustainability is not a side note—it’s a structural principle. In the Sustainability Gallery, visitors were invited to explore how DP World embeds ESG values into every layer of its operations. Through immersive storytelling and real-world proof points, the gallery asked a timely question: what does it mean to grow responsibly in a world that demands balance?

Open developed a dual-layered gallery space. In the main theatre, visitors watched an emotive widescreen film, narrated by local school children, which re-centred sustainability as a shared responsibility across generations. In ‘The Avenue’, a calm, contemplative corridor, visitors walked through a curated display of DP World’s global sustainability initiatives—from marine biodiversity and mangrove restoration to gender inclusion and community health.

Minimalism, contrast, and a human-centred narrative gave the space gravity, while quietly communicating the breadth of DP World’s commitment to environmental, social, and economic harmony.

The Sustainability Gallery became the Pavilion’s emotional touchpoint—a moment of pause, clarity, and reflection. It reminded visitors that the flow of goods must go hand in hand with the flow of responsibility. In doing so, it reinforced DP World’s role not just as a driver of trade, but as a custodian of the planet’s future.
