The fertiliser, part of Grupo Fertiberia\u2019s Impact Zero product line, which utilises renewable energy in its manufacturing, was imported by the distributor Bartholomews Agri Food.<\/p>\n
\u201dWe are excited to see this shipment of green fertiliser arrive in the port,\u201d said Tom Dynes, ABP general manager, landside operations.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are all very aware of the impact of climate change and see the arrival of this shipment bringing us a step closer to achieving the UK Government\u2019s net zero emissions target of 2050.\u201d<\/p>\n
Greener cargo<\/strong><\/p>\n Solent Stevedores operate the dry bulk terminal at the port and unloaded the fertiliser for Bartholomews Agri Food.<\/p>\n \u201cEnvironmental responsibility is something we take seriously at Solent Stevedores,\u201d said Clive Thomas, commercial director at Solent Stevedores.<\/p>\n \u201dWhether it is through direct initiatives and operations impacting the local air quality or in working alongside our customers to achieve the impact further down the line in the supply chain, it is something we work hard with our port partners to support.\u201d<\/p>\n As a port group, ABP has committed to a net zero future with its Sustainability Strategy \u2013 Ready for Tomorrow – which includes its pathway to achieving net zero emissions by 2040 at the latest.<\/p>\n A significant part of the Sustainability Strategy is working with its customers and supply chains to play a key role in their net zero journeys. The partnership with Bartholomews Agri Food and Solent Stevedores is a good example of this.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" In a UK first, a shipment of green fertiliser through Southampton has demonstrated how like all sectors,\u00a0agriculture is transitioning to a more sustainable future and cleaning up the supply chain in the process.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":3528,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[46,22],"tags":[28,1141,466,251,342],"sponsor":[],"class_list":["post-3527","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-energy-technology-greenport","category-products-services-greenport","tag-abp","tag-agriculture","tag-cargill","tag-port-of-southampton","tag-supply-chain"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3527","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3527"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3527\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3529,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3527\/revisions\/3529"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3528"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3527"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3527"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3527"},{"taxonomy":"sponsor","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.portstrategy.com\/greenport\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sponsor?post=3527"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
