Nearly 1,000 ports and port-related companies committed themselves in Antwerp to achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) set by the United Nations.
On March 22, a two-day event held under the auspices of the World Ports Sustainability Program (WPSP) was opened in Antwerp.
Specifically, ports and companies intend to focus on five practical areas including the development of robust infrastructure; climate & energy with the emphasis on initiatives that contribute to achieving the objective of the Paris climate agreement; societal integration; safety and security including cybersecurity; and transparent, ethical policies and management.
