Global Ports Holding (GPH), the world’s largest cruise port operator, has marked International Coastal Cleanup Day with a worldwide cleanup initiative across its network of cruise ports. Under the banner “From Every Port, For Every Coast,” GPH united employees, local communities, and stakeholders in a shared commitment to protecting marine environments.
GPH brought together its communities, stakeholders & cruise line partners through this initiative that spanned across the GPH network, where more than 250 volunteers dedicated over 20 hours to collecting over 1 tons waste from shorelines, beaches, and coastal areas. Alongside removing debris, participants gathered valuable data to contribute to global research on marine pollution, reinforcing the importance of collective action to protect our oceans.
“As the gateway between sea and shore, our ports are uniquely positioned to lead initiatives on sustainability,” said Stephen Xuereb, COO Global Ports Holding. “With “From Every Port, For Every Coast”, we brought together colleagues, partners, and local communities to take meaningful action. This initiative shows what can be achieved when our teams and local stakeholders work together to protect the coastlines which ultimately we depend on. It demonstrates the shared responsibility we all have for cleaner oceans.”
GPH’s sustainability strategy is built around three pillars: minimizing environmental impact, empowering local communities, and advancing responsible growth. From reducing emissions and energy use at its ports, to supporting coastal protection projects and community-driven initiatives, GPH integrates sustainability into its operations and long-term planning.
The From Every Port, For Every Coast campaign is one of many actions demonstrating GPHs vision of ports as both gateways for passengers and guardians of the coastal environments they serve. The data collected will feed into GPH’s sustainability reporting and inform future coastal-protection initiatives global network.
