winning Business and how we can help

 "The Sustainable Ports Association (SPA) supports ports in developing and managing sustainable supply chains, recognizing that around 80% of a port’s environmental impact is linked to supply chain activities they can influence or control. We help ports work with their suppliers, logistics providers, and customers to drive carbon reduction, improve ESG performance, and embed responsible practices throughout their operations. By guiding ports to take a proactive role in shaping sustainable supply chains, we enable them to meet regulatory demands, satisfy customer expectations, and strengthen their position as leaders in the transition to a low-carbon economy." 

 "With our sustainability knowledge and the support of the association, we possess the expertise and connections needed to make this venture a success, combining years of experience in ports and sustainability. The association is committed to supporting these initiatives, ensuring that our members meet the necessary requirements and are fully equipped to participate in the port’s sustainable projects and bids. This commitment helps maintain our members’ leading position in driving forward sustainable practices across the sector." 

 "In our supply chain, we champion ESG principles and carbon reduction to drive sustainability, resilience, and competitiveness. By supporting members and partners in adopting responsible environmental practices, lowering emissions, improving governance, and promoting social value, we help them meet the growing demands of clients and regulators. This positions our members as leaders in sustainability, giving them a clear advantage when bidding for contracts, securing new business, and responding to tender requirements where ESG performance and carbon reduction commitments are now key differentiators. Through our expertise and network, we ensure our members are equipped to succeed in an increasingly sustainability-focused market." 

We help ports offer the most sustainable supply chains while supporting their journey to carbon neutrality. We provide expertise, guidance, and connections to help ports decarbonise their operations, adopt renewable energy, implement cleaner transport solutions, and embed ESG principles across their supply chains. Through our network of members, industry partners, and sustainability experts, we enable ports to reduce emissions, improve environmental performance, and meet growing regulatory and customer expectations. By working with SPA, ports are better equipped to lead on sustainability, attract new business, and position themselves as responsible, forward-looking hubs in global trade."
