However, it is committed to sustainability practices as part of its operational strategy, as indicated by its emissions reporting and transparency. Port Metro Vancouver's emissions data is sourced from the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority, and it has consistently disclosed emissions across all three scopes since 2010. The organisation's emissions have fluctuated over the years, with notable peaks in 2019 at approximately 5,255,800 kg CO2e for Scope 1 emissions. Overall, while Port Metro Vancouver has made strides in emissions reporting, it currently lacks formalised reduction targets, which may be an area for future development in its climate commitments.
