Decarbonisation and sustainability
Environmental Policy
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.
Below is our carbon reduction journey timeline (or you can download a copy), and our Carbon Footprint Report is in the final stages of preparation.
