Our Carbon Reduction Journey

We recognise that coastal communities like ours are on the frontlines of climate change. With a long-term goal to reach Net Zero by 2050, we have taken the bold, measurable steps to reduce our environmental impact. While the nature of port operations involves international shipping and heavy industry, we are determined to lead by example in decarbonisation and sustainability.

Our new Carbon Emissions Report shows greenhouse gas emissions have fallen by 46% over 3 years.

Newhaven Port Authority Carbon Emissions Report 2022-2024 reveals a noteworthy achievement: total greenhouse gas emissions have fallen by 46 % over the three-year period. This milestone reflects our steadfast commitment to operational excellence and environmental responsibility, as we continue to invest in renewable energy, cleaner vehicle fleets and sustainable infrastructure to chart our course towards net zero.
