        英国第二大港口运营商皮尔港口集团（Peel Ports Group）透露，自 2020 年以来，其港口设施的温室气体排放量减少了近三分之一。

        该港口在其环境、社会和公司治理报告中表示，与 2020 年的基线相比，通过采用基于市场的核算方法，其港口业务的范畴 1 和范畴 2 排放量共减少了 32%。

        在此期间，该公司港口业务的范畴 1 排放量就下降了 47%，这主要得益于跨运船和其他设备使用生物燃料代替柴油，以及集团车队 97% 的车辆实现了电气化。

        皮尔港口集团首席执行官克劳迪奥-维里蒂罗（Claudio Veritiero）说："作为英国最大的港口运营商之一，以及我们运营地区的主要雇主，我们充分认识到我们在推动可持续发展议程方面需要发挥的作用。“

        "当我们宣布承诺到 2040 年成为净零排放企业时，我们在行业内起到了带头作用，这种雄心壮志在我们的其他可持续发展重点领域也得到了复制，包括我们对平等、多样性和包容性以及社会问题的态度。”

        该报告详细介绍了公司为帮助其在英国和爱尔兰的所有生产基地到 2040 年实现净零排放里程碑而进行的投资和采取的措施，这距离公司首次宣布其雄心勃勃的净零排放计划已经过去了近两年时间。

Peel Ports cuts GHG emissions by almost a third in 3 years

The U.K.’s second largest port operator Peel Ports Group revealed that it has reduced its greenhouse gas emissions across its port facilities by almost a third since 2020.

The port said in its ESG report that it had managed to cut Scope 1 & Scope 2 emissions across its port operations by a total of 32%, against its 2020 baseline and using a market-based accounting approach.

The company’s Scope 1 emissions across its port operations have fallen by 47% alone during that time, largely helped by transitioning to using biofuels instead of diesel in straddle carriers and other equipment, and through the electrification of 97% of the group’s vehicle fleet.

“As one of the UK’s largest port operators, and a major employer in the areas in which we operate, we are fully aware of the role we need to play in driving the sustainability agenda,” Claudio Veritiero, Chief Executive Officer at Peel Ports Group, said.

“We took the lead within our industry when we announced our commitment to become a net-zero business by 2040, and this level of ambition has been replicated across our other focus areas of sustainability, including our approach to equality, diversity and inclusion as well as social issues.“

The report details investments and initiatives to help the company reach the net zero milestone by 2040 across all of its locations in the UK and Ireland, nearly two years after the company first declared its ambitious net-zero plans.
