Clydeport named Green Champion at Glasgow Business Awards

Peel Ports Clydeport has won the Green Champion award at the 25th annual Glasgow Business Awards.

Announced at 5 October at the gala ceremony hosted by the Glasgow Chamber of Commerce and attended by over 650 esteemed business figures, the Green Champion award celebrates businesses with a dedication to driving forward green initiatives.

According to Peel Ports Clydeport, it faced stiff competition within the category, nominated alongside Glasgow Caledonian University, Kabloom, Lead Powerful Impact and Scottish Sports Futures.

Clydeport invests in sustainability and aims to become a net-zero port operator by 2040, five years ahead of the Scottish government’s national decarbonisation targets.

Key developments made to reduce carbon emissions across the Clydeport operation include a US$20,8 million investment in installing two electric cranes at Greenock Ocean Terminal, as well as changing lighting across all sites to LED.

The network of ports has also invested heavily in upgrading its equipment fleet to run on low emission alternatives to fossil fuels, with 88% of its fleet now running on Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil (HVO) and 90% on electric power.
