Home Environment Green Port

greenportlogosmallA Green Port Program was developed by the Port of San Diego to support the goals of the Green Port Policy that was approved by the Board of Port Commissioners in 2008. The ultimate goal of the program is to achieve long-term environmental, societal and economic benefits through resource conservation, waste reduction and pollution prevention.

 

The Green Port Program unifies the Port’s environmental sustainability goals in six key areas. Overseen by the Green Port Program Steering Committee, the Port sets measurable goals and evaluates progress in each area on an annual basis. The Green Port Program both continues the Port’s existing environmental efforts and expands these efforts through new programs and initiatives.

Port of San Diego Moves Forward With Sustainable Energy Partnership

The goals of the Partnership are to identify opportunities to deliver net energy savings, peak demand savings and greenhouse gas reductions through implementation of energy efficiency activities in Port operations. SDG&E has developed the Energy Road Map to outline recommendations that will achieve these goals. The Partnership will be complimentary to the Green Port Program and the Port's environmental sustainability goals.
