How we work with sustainability
The Port of Gothenburg has a clear ambition: to be a leading enabler of the transport sector’s transition. Through long-term investments, collaboration and clear targets, we are working to reduce climate impact and develop a more sustainable transport system.
As part of the City of Gothenburg, we participate in initiatives to achieve climate neutrality and collaborate with stakeholders across the entire transport chain, from shipping to land transport, to accelerate the transition.
From targets to implementation
We have set a clear target to reduce emissions by 70% by 2030 compared with 2010. To achieve this, we work according to a concrete plan that covers the entire logistics chain, from shipping outside Vinga to land transport and our own operations.
The transition also involves challenges, for example related to new technology and energy supply. That is why we work step by step, with continuous follow-up and close collaboration with customers, suppliers and authorities to ensure that we are moving in the right direction.
Our approach to the UN Sustainable Development Goals
As the largest freight hub in the Nordics, the Port of Gothenburg plays an important role in contributing to the implementation of the 2030 Agenda, both locally and globally. The 2030 Agenda outlines 17 global goals for sustainable development, adopted by countries worldwide, with the aim of achieving four key objectives by 2030: eradicating extreme poverty, reducing inequalities and injustices, promoting peace and justice, and addressing the climate crisis. The Port of Gothenburg is connected to 15 of the 17 goals and 63 of the 169 targets, with varying degrees of relevance depending on the company’s mission and the impact of its operations.
