Baltic Ports Organisation focuses on port sustainability


The Baltic Ports Organisation (BPO) has been welcomed into the world ports sustainability programme following the signing of the WPSP declaration by Bogdan Ołdakowski, BPO secretary general.

 

Guided by the UN’s 17 sustainable development goals, the programme aims to enhance and coordinate future sustainability efforts of ports worldwide, fostering international cooperation with partners in the supply chain.

 

Established in 1991, BPO counts 47 members. Patrick Verhoeven, managing director of the International Association of Ports and Harbours (IAPH) and coordinator of the world ports sustainability programme, commented: "We are delighted that BPO has decided to join our programme and look forward to sharing their members' sustainability projects through the WPSP portfolio. Some of the world's most advanced port innovators are to be found in this region, so we look forward to BPO's active contribution towards achieving our goals." (cd)
