EcoPorts is the main environmental initiative of the European port sector. It
was initiated by a
number of proactive ports in 1997 and has been fully integrated into the European Sea Ports
Organisation (ESPO) since 2011. At the same time the neutral, independent and non profit ECO
Sustainable logistics Chain Foundation, ECOSLC started its introduction in ports outside Europe
and in port terminals worldwide. The overarching principle of EcoPorts is to raise awareness on
environmental protection through cooperation and sharing of knowledge between ports and improve
environmental management.
