Action on climate change
Our commitment
GeelongPort commits to practical climate action based on the best available science and information. We commit to understanding and adapting to climate change, preparing for the challenges and opportunities, meeting our obligations under the Paris Agreement and associated voluntary and regulatory obligations, including reporting against the Taskforce on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) framework.
Our ambition
We aspire to be Australia’s most sustainable port, contributing to a low-carbon economy and a healthier planet. We are dedicated to making a positive impact on the environment while supporting the economic growth and development of our region. Together, we can navigate towards a more sustainable future.
Our Greenhouse Gas (GHG) reduction targets:
Scopes 1 and 2: Net zero by 20301
Scope 3: By the end of 2030 customers, suppliers and/or tenants responsible for at least 67% of targeted scope 3 emissions2 have their own near-term target aligned to the latest climate science.
1 GeelongPort will achieve net zero via a 90% reduction against our 2018 emissions baseline by 2027, with no more than 10% accounted for by climate contributions by 2030.
2The Scope 3 emissions included in this target cover GHG Protocol categories 1-8 and 13. Scope 3 emissions related to GHG Protocol categories 9-11 will be reported but are currently excluded from this target.
