BELFAST HARBOUR AWARDED PLATINUM STATUS FOR 17TH YEAR RUNNING FOR SUSTAINABILITY EFFORTS
Belfast Harbour has been awarded Platinum Level status by Business in the Community (BITC) in the 2025 Northern Ireland Environmental Benchmarking Survey for the 17th consecutive year.
The annual survey rates more than 150 organisations against sector peers and leading Northern Ireland organisations based on environmental management and performance in key areas, as well as the extent to which environmental business practices have been embedded within corporate strategies.
Simon Gibson, Marine, Environment and Biodiversity Officer at Belfast Harbour said:
“Belfast Harbour is proud to once again achieve Platinum status in the BITC Environmental Benchmarking Survey. Participating in this survey provides a valuable opportunity to gain meaningful insights and feedback on how our performance compares with peers and counterparts across Northern Ireland’s business community.
“Having taken part in this survey for 25 years, our continued Platinum level status reflects our long-term commitment to sustainability and responsible growth, and the dedication of our people and partners in building a greener, more resilient Belfast Harbour.
“Accelerating our journey to net zero and supporting others to do the same is at the heart of our transformative plans in our 2025-29 strategy to Advance Regional Prosperity. Sustainability is equally central to our Draft Masterplan 2025-50, which is open for consultation until January. This bold, long-term vision for the Port and Estate places environmental responsibility as a key pillar in our plans for the future of Belfast Harbour.”
