Antwerp Sustainability Report
The second Antwerp Sustainability Report was released earlier this week, along with a new digital platform to help companies in their sustainability efforts.
The ‘Sustainable Enterprise Guide’ initiative features practical examples, useful information and feedback from other people in the port community about their experiences.
“It’s a one-stop-shop for ideas that have already proved their worth in practice and that can help other people in the same way. In other words, it significantly lowers the threshold for getting to grips with sustainable innovations,” said Rudi De Meyer, CEO of Alfaport.
The second Sustainability Report is the work of the entire port community, with Antwerp Port Authority, the Left Bank Development Corporation and port companies represented by Alfaport, all contributing.
It looks at seven different subjects: maritime, logistics and industrial cluster, employment, know-how and innovation, mobility, safety and security, nature and environment and society.
“Each subject is examined from three aspects: people, for the effect on people and society; planet, for the impact on our environment; and finally prosperity; for the consequences for our welfare,” said Peter Van de Putte, general manager, Left Bank Development Corporation.
“By applying each of the three viewpoints to the seven subjects, we get a very good overall picture of the sustainability efforts in the port of Antwerp and the results achieved,” he added.
