The annual PSA Go Green movement took place over the month of September 2017, in a group-wide initiative that aims to raise staff awareness on environmental issues and taking meaningful action to care for the environment. This year, the event was once again scheduled to dovetail with the green efforts of the Go Green partners comprising of PSA, Hutchison Ports, DP World, Port of Rotterdam Authority and Shanghai International Port Group.

Around the globe, PSA staff took part in a wide spectrum of initiatives in support of Go Green efforts, with campaigns ranging from recycling and reusing, to education and conservation. At the individual ports and terminals, the activities included the rehabilitation of mangrove swamp ecosystems through replanting, a roving environmental exhibition housed within a container, the clean-up of coastlines and public areas, in addition to recycling projects at ports and offices around the world.

In total, over 15 tonnes of used items and 12 tonnes of trash were collected for recycling during the PSA Go Green! PSA employees also came together to reduce our carbon footprint by planting nearly 1000 seedlings. Some PSA staff even left their cars at home, in a special effort to use greener modes of transport such as electric cars, carpooling to work and public transport.

Through PSA’s global Go Green efforts, staff are continually encouraged to reduce wastage, conserve energy, recycle and reuse, so as to allow PSA to operate sustainably across all their terminals. By consciously engaging on this green agenda alongside their Go Green partners, and sowing the seeds for environmental conservation, PSA aims to collectively make a meaningful difference to the communities and habitats within which they operate.
