To the superintendent of the Port of Itajaí, Marcelo Salles, “this award is part of the recovery of the port”. Salles stressed that the port is concerned with environmental control and the port/city relationship. The superintendent said that the Port of Itajaí conducts several environmental programs, including the Green Initiative and Together for Rio. “We also carry out environmental actions in schools and with employees of companies near the port,” he said.

According to Operations Manager of Ponta da Madeira Maritime Terminal, José Valentim, “the terminal is growing and we are following the Environmental Performance Index primer. We want to stay first in the next awards.”

In the category of “Highest Annual Evolution 2018 of the Environmental Performance Index Public Ports”, the first place was given to the Port of Ilhéus (BA). In second and third positions were the Port of Santana (AP) and the Port of Aratu (BA), respectively.

The Environmental Performance Index (EPI), implemented in 2012 through Resolution No. 2,650/2012, is a number that measures the degree of compliance with environmental standards by public and private ports in Brazil. An industry benchmark, EPI is composed of 38 indicators related to legal compliance in force in the country and good practices in environmental management, health, and safety of operations.

Among the indicators that are evaluated by EPI are the status of the environmental license and the existence of operating license, quantity, and quality of technicians in the environmental nucleus, risk prevention, environmental audit, ship waste removal action, consumption and efficiency of energy use, fauna and flora monitoring, and health contingency plans.

The EPI results have helped to guide sectoral policies, as well as identify successful management measures to be shared among port facilities, and have based academic and technical studies.
