What’s good for the environment is good for all of us

Keeping the air, land and water around us clean is a top priority at the Port of Vancouver USA. We believe that environmental stewardship and economic development can co-exist, and as part of our community, we are committed to doing our part. That’s why we take a proactive, innovative and integrated approach to sustainability, compliance, pollution prevention and natural habitat protection. We even have an environmental team dedicated to this important work.

• Integrated Decision Making – We incorporate environmental costs, risks, impacts and benefits into our business choices, operating decisions and facility planning.
• Sustainability – We maximize the use of sustainable resources in the construction and operation of our facilities and the delivery of our services, formalizing our efforts with the “We Can!” program.
• Pollution Prevention – We avoid contamination of property through best management practices and effective safeguarding programs; and we continue to efficiently remediate historical cleanup sites.
• Compliance – We meet or exceed regulatory requirements in the construction and operation of our facilities and delivery of our services.
