Sustainable Commitment in the Port Sector

In a pioneering move in the port sector, Porto Sudeste, located in Itaguaí, RJ, has set an ambitious goal: a 50.4% reduction in Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from scopes 1 and 2 of its operations by 2033, based on 2021 levels. This announcement represents a significant milestone in the fight against global warming and in adapting to climate change, reflecting a deep commitment to environmental sustainability.

Ulisses Oliveira, director of corporate affairs and sustainability at Porto Sudeste, highlights the importance of this step: “The climate risk study and the setting of GHG reduction targets show how committed we are to the ESG strategy, which is at the core of our business plan. We are not only considering climate and operational risks but actively working to mitigate them.”

Innovative and Sustainable Initiatives

Porto Sudeste has been adopting various measures to achieve its sustainability goals. Among them is the replacement of gasoline with ethanol, the use of certified renewable energy sources, the implementation of solar energy, and the automation of equipment for operational efficiency. These actions are part of a comprehensive effort to include scopes 1 and 2 in its climate strategy.

Results and Future Perspectives

Since 2015, Porto Sudeste has been monitoring its GHG emissions, which has guided its investments in technology and process optimization. In 2023, the company published a complete GHG inventory, receiving the Silver Seal from the Brazilian GHG Protocol Program. The sustainable practices already implemented at the terminal include the use of 100% electric equipment and the reuse of 90% of rainwater harvesting and wastewater treatment.

The Sustainability Report of Porto Sudeste, now following the GRI model, serves as a guide for the company’s organizational strategy, emphasizing Materiality, Stakeholder Engagement, and Prioritization of SDGs.

Operational Impact

Porto Sudeste recorded significant growth in its operations, with 6.9 million tons of iron ore handled in the 3rd quarter of 2023, a 60% increase compared to the previous year. By September, the terminal had already handled 19 million tons, surpassing the record set in 2020. The expectation is to exceed 20 million tons in 2023.

This commitment by Porto Sudeste to decarbonization and sustainability is an example for the sector, showing how concrete actions and a forward-looking vision can lead to a significant positive environmental impact.

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

Described by astronauts as one of the most unlikely natural phenomena on Earth, the Okavango Delta spreads over up to 15,000 square kilometers in the middle of the desert and transforms Botswana into a living labyrinth of channels, islands, and flooded areas.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

Two billionaires spend $67 million just to avoid having a neighbor and block a $285 million mega mansion, with 4,645 m², bowling alley, car museum, and waterfront area in Florida.

Change in INSS reduces waiting time from 45 to 30 days, prioritizes pensions, revisions, and BPC, and could expedite over 100,000 stalled processes, while employees receive productivity bonuses and the government attempts to reduce a backlog that still exceeds 2.1 million requests.

David Camacho, the 10-year-old Mexican child prodigy with an IQ of 162, higher than Einstein’s, underwent astronaut training at NASA, speaks four languages, and created an app to help children deal with emotions after the bullying he experienced.

London waited more than 360 years for this scene: four pelican chicks are born in St James’s Park, surprising experts, resembling little dinosaurs, and turning an isolation caused by avian flu into a historic chapter for the birds that have lived alongside British royalty since 1664.

They wanted artificial intelligence, but they drained the water from a village in Mexico: the water consumption of data centers caused a hepatitis outbreak, and big tech companies Amazon, Microsoft, and Google were forced to halt billion-dollar projects.
