The accolades highlight the Group's innovative initiatives and dedication to reducing its own environmental impact while contributing to the global effort to protect our planet.

The Group has embedded sustainability in its core business strategy, and is systematically integrating alternative energy sources, and other innovative technology such as electric-powered tugboats, in its operations.

In 2023, AD Ports Group reduced the greenhouse gas emissions intensity and the electricity intensity of its container port handling operations by 2% and 7%, respectively, from 2022 levels, through greater efficiencies and the use of photovoltaic electricity, even as container throughput rose 13% year on year.
