Port of Rotterdam announced that it has become member of the WBCSD, being the first port to join this global network which aims to accelerate the transition to a sustainable world. WBCSD is uniquely positioned to work with member companies along and across value chains to deliver high-impact business solutions to the most challenging sustainability issues.

The port now aims to further develop its sustainability agenda by partnering with WBCSD and its 200-member companies.” the port said in a press statement.
