“…Apesar disto, os estados membros da ONU reconhecem que as ações executadas até o momento são insuficientes para mudar o cenário mundial e seguir no caminho certo para atingir as metas estipuladas em cada ODS (The Sustainable Development Goals Report, 2020; Caliskan, 2022;Cunha et al, 2023).…”

A sustentabilidade tem sido uma temática crescente nas conversas empresariais, evidenciando a necessidade da integração de práticas voltadas para o futuro e as próximas gerações. Questões relacionadas à preservação ambiental e responsabilidade social permeiam diversas esferas de nossa sociedade. A Sustentabilidade Portuária, por sua vez, revela que as operações de um porto não se restringem apenas ao recebimento e despacho de navios. Um porto sustentável excede a viabilidade econômica. Isso constitui apenas uma das faces dos princípios de Sustentabilidade, que abrangem além das considerações econômicas, aspectos sociais e ambientais. Nesse sentido, os Objetivos do Desenvolvimento Sustentável entram na discussão, com metas atualizadas dos Objetivos do Milênio a serem alcançadas até 2030. Dentro deste contexto, este artigo utilizou como metodologia a combinação de uma revisão sistemática da literatura, em conjunto com análise documental dos relatórios de sustentabilidade dos portos públicos brasileiros. Como principais resultados são apresentados os ODS mais citados na literatura voltada a sustentabilidade portuária, número de citações por porto, palavras-chaves mais citadas nos relatórios de sustentabilidade, entre outros.

“…Cunha et al determined sustainability practices for SDGs with content analysis regarding reports published by Brazilian Public Port Authorities between 2017 and 2020. The reports revealed that SDG 8, SDG 11, and SDG 14 are the most preferred factors in the considered period [23]. Spengler et al analyzed energy consumption differences for both refrigerator and non-refrigerator cargo types to find their impacts on the overall efficiency of container terminals.…”

The maritime economy is at the forefront of unprecedented sustainability challenges. Addressing ecological externalities in port operations supports the decarbonization goals of the United Nations (UN) Climate Action program and port city transition towards resilient and sustainable urban units. This research brings out an empirical assessment of seaport performance from an eco–environmental point of sustainability with a non-parametric analysis. Most common indicators from the cross-sectoral Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) database for the 21 world’s busiest seaports are used for the analysis. This research integrates four different models with the inputs CO2 emission, electricity consumption, waste, and water consumption; and the outputs employees, revenue, and container throughput. Projection pathways are established for inefficient seaports to improve sustainability performance. The analysis shows that the seaports of Qingdao and Cartagena are the most sustainably performing seaports under the selected maritime sustainability indicators. This research supports port managers in understanding the strengths and weaknesses of their operations and helps frame strategic policies toward achieving overall sustainability in the maritime industry across SDG 14 (marine ecosystem) and SDG 13 (climate mitigation) goals of the 2030 Urban Agenda.

“…The environmental issue is a major concern for global ports, to the extent that reports are produced to disclose activities related to sustainable development goals (Wang, Yuen, Wong, & Li, 2020;Alamoush, Ballini, & Ölçer, 2021;Cunha, Pereira, De Santana Porte, & Campos, 2023). Environmental standards, both mandatory and voluntary, have multiplied to address the need to protect coastal areas and reduce the environmental impact of port activities.…”

Increasingly, ports are shifting towards environmental protection to acquire or maintain their competitive advantages. While they contribute to global economic development, port activities can have negative effects on coastal areas and marine biodiversity. The Port of San Pedro is undertaking several actions in favor of sustainable development, which has enabled it to obtain multiple certifications and ISO standards. This article presents the role it has played in acquiring these certifications. Institutional theory has been mobilized to demonstrate how the Port of San Pedro engages stakeholders in the port area towards port sustainability. Qualitative methodology was used to conduct interviews with the Director of Quality, Health, Safety, and Environment Services at this port. The results highlight the coercive policy deployed by the Port to engage port stakeholders in achieving sustainable development goals and make the Port of San Pedro a sustainable port.
