Task 4
Environmental and sustainable tools:
Uniquely positioned, inland ports face environmental regulations while striving for sustainable growth. Port managers urgently require practical, cost-effective tools to facilitate the environmental and sustainable development of ports.
The insights gained from this study will shape the development of an Environmental Sustainable Management System (ESMS) to support inland ports.
Ten pilot projects will lead the way, applying these tools to address real-world challenges. Our project team will offer webinars and training materials to ensure seamless application paving the way for a greener and smarter future.
Green Inland Port Environmental Sustainable Management System (GRIP – ESMS) tool for inland ports – what it is and how to apply
We are pleased to present the Green Inland Port Environmental Sustainable Management System tool for inland ports!
The GRIP-ESMS is a process tool which aims to deliver environmental protection and sustainable development in the inland ports that apply it. The tool ensures that the inland ports that apply it develop in a sustainable way while complying with international environmental regulations. It builds clear environmental responsibilities, helps inland ports to put SMART objectives and targets in place regarding their environmental sustainability and economic viability and gives them a target to aim for.
Additionally, the GRIP-ESMS aims to create an equilibrium between environmental performance, operational and business efficiency and social responsibility, incorporating components and guidelines that, if applied, can deliver both economic and environmental sustainability.
