Port Saint John has committed to reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 60 percent below 2016 levels by 2030.
Working with Green Economy New Brunswick, the port completed a detailed emissions inventory, identified priority areas for action, and developed a plan that ties climate initiatives to broader operational goals. The announcement highlights steps already taken and emphasizes the importance of collaboration with tenants and partners.
By investing in improvements such as energy efficient lighting, building upgrades, and cleaner yard equipment, the port is working to reduce its footprint while continuing to support trade and local jobs. The target provides a clear signal to stakeholders about the direction of future investments.
The port’s leadership hopes that this target will encourage other large organizations in the province to evaluate their own emissions and consider how they can contribute to a more sustainable regional economy.
