ENVIRONMENT SOCIAL GOVERNANCE (ESG)
ESG represents to Port of Portland a mindset within the organisation that the business, its Directors, Management and staff will all work in an ethical and sustainable manner.
In adopting these principles, POPL recognises that it has a responsibility to do the right thing in respect to caring for its staff, customers, the broader community and the environment it operates in.
