Port sustainability, port decarbonisation

We’re living in an increasingly complex world, marked by rapid environmental changes, social inequalities, and the urgent need to react and develop resilience. Change is happening fast, and the challenges it brings require new perspectives and innovative solutions that improve social outcome and create sustainable legacies for future generations.

With tightening regulations, long asset horizons, and increasing scrutiny from clients and stakeholders, you need the investments you make today to have a positive impact in the future. And sustainability is not just about the environment; your maritime facility needs strategies for social, economic and governance impacts, too. At Royal HaskoningDHV, we believe this type of commitment and innovation – mindful of the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) - is key in building a better world, delivering a sustainable society; one in which we all can grow and prosper.

Fueled by our purpose “Enhancing Society Together”, our commitment to sustainability extends beyond immediate projects. We focus on developing future-proof strategies for maritime facilities, ensuring long-term sustainability and resilience. By helping to improve sustainability in maritime facilities, we positively impact both local communities and the wider world.

Whether you’re responsible for one maritime facility or many, sustainability is pushing its way up the global agenda. To meet evolving demands across environmental, social, and governance impacts, you need to start now. But long horizons on maritime investments and complex value chains can make finding the right answers hard.

We regard it as our responsibility to tackle these complex challenges through strong collaborations; head-on and hands-on, delivering measurable results where it matters. This is also reflected in our partnerships, memberships, and advisory roles in international bodies, to add impact and power to achieving your objectives. From strategy and development to operations and asset management, we can help you build these vital considerations into every aspect of your shipyard, terminal, or port – giving you a competitive edge in a changing world, all while contributing to a sustainable society.

Take steps to meet your sustainability goals, today

With our rich heritage in maritime engineering, and a specialist Green Ports team, Royal HaskoningDHV is ready to help. From ESG reporting, addressing UN SDGs and decarbonisation targets to embracing energy transition, we can help you align your sustainability plans to meet changes in the global shipping market – so you reap the maximum benefit for your business, for the communities you serve, and for the wider world.

Maritime facilities have a global reach. The sustainability improvement we make here can also have a positive impact on communities and ecological systems oceans away.
