Sustainability
Southern Ports commenced developing our sustainability pathway and strategy in June 2021, which will include a gap analysis, materiality assessment, communication plan and strategy development.
The methodology is centred on the industry-based Ports Australia Sustainability Strategy Development Guidelines and will be adapted to suit the needs of Southern Ports. The strategy will provide a modern governance framework, add value to the organisation and our people, and articulate a series of sustainability goals for Southern Ports to work towards.
A dedicated position has been created to assist with the sustainability strategy and act as a conduit for collaborative projects and practices that contribute towards our long-term sustainability voyage.
The Albany Port continues to lead Southern Ports’ sustainability journey, progressing a number of key projects throughout the year, including partnering with the UWA Design School (Architecture) to facilitate their summer school studio field component. Students worked intensively to create future design concepts for the heritage listed Albany Pilot Station and the designs will be considered during further planning for the site.
An organisation-wide program was implemented aimed at increasing the health and wellbeing of Southern Ports, by creating a strong and sustainable workforce that are integral to our organisational success.
