SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY
PBPL is committed to making a difference. For us, sustainability is about considering our stakeholders and ensuring the decisions we make enable the Port of Brisbane to be 'Here for the Future'. To test.
Sustainability is not a new concept for PBPL – a strong sustainability culture has underpinned many strategic and operational initiatives across our business.
Our Board-endorsed Sustainability Strategy has adopted a ‘whole of business’ approach and aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs): 14 of the 17 UNSDGs are relevant to our business.
It embraces a collaborative approach, creates new possibilities and seeks to deliver positive change across our supply chain and within the communities in which we operate.
The strategy brings together a large range of business initiatives within four key themes: Planet, People, Prosperity and Partnerships. It sets out short and long-term aspirations as well as an overall goal for each key theme, which we aim to achieve by 2030.
OUR 2030 FOCUS AREA TARGETS
To help us achieve these overall goals, we have identified key focus areas that will guide our work and are based on the outcomes of the materiality assessment. Each focus area has a 2030 Target that will contribute to achieving our overall 2030 Goals.
While our Sustainability Strategy is necessarily ambitious, we believe that achieving our 2030 targets and overall goals will ultimately deliver sustainable and beneficial outcomes for the broader Port of Brisbane community.
