The annual PSA Go Green event took place over the month of September 2018, in a group-wide initiative aimed at promoting environmental awareness and action among our staff. The event was scheduled to dovetail with the collective green efforts of our Go Green partners comprising PSA International, Hutchison Ports, DP World, Port of Rotterdam Authority and Shanghai International Port Group.

Group CEO Tan Chong Meng said, “This is the fifth year PSA staff around the world have been involved in this meaningful joint initiative, and we will continue our efforts to expand our green footprint while contributing towards vibrant economies and communities. In addition to the annual green activities undertaken by employees, PSA continually seeks to improve fuel efficiency and reduce greenhouse gases in port operations, by supporting a progressive shift towards electric cranes, LNG trucks and energy-efficient buildings. With cleaner energy sources, emerging new technologies and concerted efforts, we envision a sustainable future for generations to come.”

One of the main highlights of this year’s activities was the coordinated collection and recycling of aluminium cans and old mobile phones among the global port groups. The recycling of aluminium aims to create awareness that aluminium cans are 100% recyclable while the collection of old mobile phones seeks to highlight the presence of toxic contents in e-waste (such as lead, mercury and lithium) and emphasise the need for proper disposal of such wastes. Across the group, PSA managed to collect and recycle 315.2kg worth of aluminium cans and 291 mobile phones during the event.
