ECOSLC Foundation congratulates the Port of Bell Bay, Australia, on achieving ECOPORTS PERS Certification in August for the first time.
EcoPorts PERS is the only environmental and sustainable management standard that is fully tailored to the specific roles and responsibilities of ports.
Among other things, the standard requires the port to present an overview of the main environmental and sustainable impacts of its port process. This is a basis for making improvements by applying environmental laws and our own environmental policy.
EcoPorts
Certification makes the port a member of the global Network of EcoPorts
Certified ports.
This network was set up to share practical experiences between these ports. This global Network is also intended to contribute to the greening of the port sector.
The EcoPorts Management system is offered
outside Europe by ECOSLC Foundation, located in the Netherlands via the ECOSLC
website (www.ecoslc.eu). Compliance with the EcoPorts PERS standard is
independently assessed by LRQA Netherlands. The certificate has a validity of 2
years.
