Environmental responsibility, shared prosperity

At the Port of Vancouver USA, we know that a healthy environment supports a thriving community and economy. That’s why environmental stewardship is at the core of everything we do. We’re committed to preserving and protecting the air, land and water that surround us, for today and future generations.

From sustainability to compliance and habitat protection, our dedicated environmental team takes a proactive, innovative approach to managing our impact and planning for the future.

Our Approach:

• Integrated Decision Making
  We factor environmental costs, benefits, risks and impacts into our business operations, planning and facility development, ensuring long-term, responsible growth.
• Sustainability
  Through our “We Can!” program, we prioritize the use of sustainable materials and practices across port operations and construction projects.
• Pollution Prevention
  We work hard to prevent contamination through best management practices and strong safeguards, and we continue to remediate legacy cleanup sites with care and efficiency.
• Regulatory Compliance
  We meet or exceed all environmental regulations in our projects and daily operations because doing the minimum is never enough when it comes to protecting our environment.
