Ports Australia created the guide to help ports prepare their sustainability strategies or evolve the work they\u2019ve already done.<\/p>\n
Simona Trimarchi, the chair of Ports Australia\u2019s sustainability working group, said: \u201cGiven the nature of what ports do and the incredible amount of value we provide to regional and national economies and the natural environments and communities in which we operate, sustainability planning is critical.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe guide is different in that it is a how-to on sustainability, it gets into the detail of how to start looking at sustainability for your business, how to define sustainability, and then how to develop a logical and structured plan on how to advance it over time.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt also includes the ethos of sustainability principles, how to make actions practical and results tangible, as well as looking at the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and how to factor what they mean into your specific port business\u2019 sustainability strategy so that it has an ultimately holistic approach.\u201d<\/p>\n
The guide\u2019s approach to sustainability has been industry applied throughout Australia and New Zealand, but equally has the potential to be adapted through ports across the world.<\/p>\n
The guide follows Ports Australia\u2019s 2019 \u2018Ports and a Sustainable Australia\u2019, which was launched with a Sustainability Hub, both projects showcasing the work Australian ports are already doing for the sustainability of their business and surrounding communities and environments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
