The Port of Long Beach is the second-busiest seaport in the United States and a key transportation hub in the global trade marketplace. More than $100 billion worth of cargo moves through the Port every year -- everything from clothing and furniture to machinery and petroleum. Long Beach-generated trade supports 1.4 million jobs throughout the United States, and generates about $15 billion in annual trade-related wages.
The Port of Long Beach is committed to improving the environment, as demonstrated by its 20-year record of environmental protection programs. With the Port’s rapid trade growth in recent years – cargo has nearly quadrupled in the past 15 years and is projected to nearly triple in the next 15 years – the Port recognizes the need for an aggressive, comprehensive and coordinated approach to reduce the negative impacts of Port operations.
The Green Port Policy directs the Port to integrate sustainable practices into Port development and operations by actively promoting an organizational culture of environmental protection and enhancement. This culture extends to Port staff as well as the Port’s customers. Benefits will include preservation of natural resources, reduction of pollution, conservation of energy and curtailment of waste, increases in the use of renewable and recyclable materials, and overall reduction of the Port’s impact on the environment.
