Port Metro Vancouver issued its “2014 Sustainability Report” which provides an overview of the port authority’s environmental, social and economic performance over the year.
The report highlights the significant ongoing work and collaboration with government, terminals, tenants, customers, communities and other stakeholders towards the sustainable development of Canada’s largest port. Stakeholders were engaged to create a definition of sustainability for the port, the three themes of which – delivering economic prosperity through trade, maintaining a healthy environment, and enabling thriving communities – provide the structure of the report.
Key accomplishments outlined in the 2014 Sustainability Report include:
- Completion of 265 environmental reviews in accordance with our environmental policy and the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012
- Finalization of a new Land Use Plan, which defines how federal port lands will be managed over the next 15 to 20 years
- The launch of key environmental initiatives including an air quality monitoring program in partnership with Metro Vancouver, and the Enhancing Cetacean Habitat and Observation (ECHO) Program to better understand and ultimately minimize the impact of port-related activities on marine mammals along the southern coast of B.C.
- Completion of several significant infrastructure projects, increasing the ability of the gateway to handle growing trade while minimizing traffic and other impacts on communities.
