APS Takes Strides in Intensifying ESG Actions in the Port of Santos
May, 02, 2024 Posted by Gabriel MalheirosWeek 202417
The Santos Port Authority (APS) took significant strides in April in developing its ESG Manifesto. The month saw a series of impactful events, including the ESG Immersion Workshop held at the APS Training Center, an online presentation showcasing best practices in Sustainability Reporting, and the 7th in-person meeting with Manifesto signatories. Notably, three new entities joined the initiative during this meeting: the Union of Port Operators of the State of São Paulo (Sopesp), as well as S. Magalhães and Eldorado Brazil companies.
Through these collaborative efforts, the Santos Port Authority reiterates its dedication, alongside both private and public stakeholders within the Santos port complex, to the development, management, and oversight of the Port of Santos. This commitment aims to provide efficient services and infrastructure to customers and users while also supporting public authorities, commerce, and sustainable development initiatives.
The Manifesto, initially signed on August 1st of the previous year during the II ESG Journey at the Port of Santos, underscores the integration of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) principles into APS’s corporate strategy. Anderson Pomini, President of the Company, emphasizes, “The Port of Santos believes that embracing ESG measures not only enhances its market position but also contributes to a more sustainable and inclusive future.”
By endorsing the Manifesto, the Port of Santos acknowledges the significance of ESG principles for sustainable development and corporate responsibility. It commits, alongside other signatory entities, to adopt and promote practices aligned with these values, as well as with the principles of the Global Compact and the United Nations (UN) Agenda 2030.
