APM Terminals' 2011 Sustainability Report gives APM Terminals top marks

2012 03 29


THE APM Terminals' 2011 Sustainability Report gave APM Terminals, a unit of Denmark's AP Moller group, top marks for continued improvement in sustainability throughout the company's global port, terminal and inland services network.

APM Terminals exceeded the corporate objective of a 15 per cent decrease in carbon emissions by 2011, using a 2009 baseline for port facilities by achieving a reduction of 16.5 per cent per TEU.

APM Terminals increased its carbon emissions 2.1 per cent between 2009 and 2011 but that was because of continued expansion of company operations and the CO2 output of new cargo handling equipment, said the APM Terminals Sustainability report.

APM Terminals has established a target of a 25 per cent reduction in carbon emissions per TEU by 2020 for all terminal operations, as measured against a 2010 baseline.

APM Terminals' 2011 Sustainability Report also said APM Terminals met the highest possible safety standards, reduction of the environmental impact of expanding global operations and positive contributions to the communities in which APM Terminals operate were major highlights in the APM Terminals Sustainability Report.

APM Terminals continued to be an industry leader in safety performance in 2011 in terms of reducing injuries, as the lost time injury frequency (LTIF) rate decreased by 21 per cent compared to the 2010 figure and is at its lowest level ever. LTIF is recognised globally as a key indicator for a company's safety performance. The APM Terminals goal for 2012 is a further 15 per cent reduction in the LTIF rate.
