Dover Harbour Board has announced the achievement of the Carbon Trust Standard for Carbon Award for the fourth time after accomplishing an impressive 17.2% absolute reduction in the Port of Dover carbon footprint.
The Carbon Trust Standard is a mark of excellence that is awarded in recognition of measuring, managing and reducing carbon emissions. Successful certification requires organisations to demonstrate good all-round carbon management performance in their day to day operations. The Port’s performance was particularly high in several categories including Responsibility, Operating Procedures, Investments and Supply Chain Engagement where scores of 100% were awarded by the Carbon Trust.
The Carbon Trust Standard is a two year certification and the Port of Dover will need to resubmit details of its carbon reduction endeavours in 2018 to retain the Standard.
