The World Port Sustainability Program (WPSP), headquartered in Belgium, is a pioneering initiative dedicated to promoting sustainable practices within the global port industry. Founded in 2017, WPSP has rapidly established itself as a leader in fostering collaboration among ports, stakeholders, and communities to enhance environmental, social, and economic sustainability. Operating across major regions worldwide, WPSP focuses on key business areas such as sustainable development, innovation, and best practices in port management. Its unique approach combines knowledge sharing and strategic partnerships, enabling ports to implement effective sustainability measures. Notable achievements include the development of the WPSP Framework, which guides ports in assessing and improving their sustainability performance. With a strong market position, WPSP continues to drive positive change, ensuring that ports play a vital role in a sustainable future.
