#BelfastHarbour - ESG Report See link below to our first published ESG Report - we are ahead of our 2030 target to achieve Net-Zero 🌳
Belfast Harbour is on track to become the first Net-Zero port operator in the UK and on the island of Ireland, well ahead of its 2030 target. The news follows publication of its first Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) report today. The report, which tracks the organisation’s sustainability activities against globally recognised and best practice Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) Standards, details the many ways in which Belfast Harbour has been transforming its working practices to become a greener and more sustainable business. These include introducing electric vehicles across its fleet, increasing the use of low carbon alternative fuels and moving to 100% renewable electricity in its direct operations. These, along with a range of other activities, helped the organisation cut its greenhouse gas emissions by 18% in 2023, with a further 40% reduction projected for this year too. You can read about the many ways Belfast Harbour is putting People, Place, Partnerships and Planet at the heart of its operations and becoming a Green Port in the report, which is available to read at https://rb.gy/ki1zxp

♻ The Evolving Landscape of #CorporateSustainability ♻ Sustainability has transitioned from a niche concern to a central business priority. Driven by consumer demand and financial pressures, companies are setting ambitious carbon reduction targets. However, achieving these goals presents significant challenges: ❇ Commitments vs. Reality: Many companies aim for #NetZero emissions by 2030-2050, but short-term difficulties, such as technological limitations and regulatory gaps, often impede progress. ❇ Case in Point: Air New Zealand recently withdrew from the Science Based Targets initiative #SBTi and revised its 2030 carbon reduction target, citing issues like aircraft availability and #SupplyChainDelays. ✳ Opportunities Ahead: ✴ #ZeroCarbonSolutions: These are becoming increasingly competitive, particularly in #Energy and #Transport sectors. ✴ #FutureGrowth: By 2030, zero-carbon solutions could cover over 70% of #GlobalEmissions, offering significant business opportunities for #SustainableInnovation. 💡 What are some ways in which your company is striving towards Corporate Sustainability? Share with us in the comments below. 💡 #CorporateSustainability #SBTi #ESG #ClimateScience ▶ Read more here: https://lnkd.in/dnEkQ3Mj
