Landside Protection
Protecting the environment is a key part of how we operate at Peel Ports Group. Through our Journey to Zero Harm vision and EHS Strategy, we work to prevent pollution, protect biodiversity, manage resources responsibly and continually improve our environmental performance.
Driving Environmental Performance
Our sites operate ISO 14001 certified Environmental Management Systems which help us monitor performance, manage environmental risks, maintain compliance and continually improve the way we operate. Through audits, inspections and performance reporting, we identify opportunities to reduce environmental impacts and support sustainable operations across the business.
We monitor resource consumption, emissions, environmental incidents and near misses across our operations to help identify trends and drive improvement. Supported by annual environmental objectives and targeted initiatives under the EHS plan, we use data and specialist expertise to continually improve our environmental performance.
Climate Change
We have adopted a Group Climate Change Policy and are forming a Climate Change Steering Group, containing leaders from across the business to drive progress in the areas of climate change adaptation and mitigation.
In response to an invitation from Defra to participate in the 4th round of Climate Change Adaptation Reporting for the Ports of Liverpool and Sheerness, we submitted a Climate Change Adaptation Report to Defra for these ports in December 2024.
Marine Environment
Our Group Marine Environmental Team supports the delivery of good environmental practice across our marine operations, helping ensure
compliance with environmental legislation and statutory responsibilities. Working closely with local teams and stakeholders, they develop practical and sustainable solutions that protect the marine environment and drive continual improvement across our ports.
Waste Management
We are committed to reducing waste and improving resource efficiency across our operations. Through monitoring, recycling initiatives and continuous improvement programmes, we work to minimise waste and maximise the recovery of valuable resources.
Pollution Prevention
Preventing pollution is a key part of our environmental responsibilities. We implement controls, procedures and emergency response arrangements to protect land, water and air from the impacts of our operations.
Biodiversity and Conservation
Many of our sites are located alongside environmentally important habitats and protected areas. We work to protect and enhance biodiversity through habitat management, conservation projects and responsible land stewardship
Land Management
We manage a diverse range of operational and non-operational land across Peel Ports Group. Through responsible land stewardship, habitat management and the sustainable use of brownfield land, we work to balance operational needs with environmental protection.
