Global Ports Holding Joins Forces for Coastal Cleanup Day: A Commitment to Marine Conservation

Global Ports Holding (GPH) recently celebrated International Coastal Cleanup Day with a large-scale cleanup event across its network of cruise ports. The initiative, titled "From Every Port, For Every Coast," involved employees, community members, and stakeholders rallying together to protect marine environments.

During this campaign, over 250 volunteers dedicated more than 20 hours to remove over 1 ton of waste from beaches, shorelines, and coastal areas. The efforts not only focused on debris removal but also included data collection that contributes to global research on marine pollution. This initiative underlines the importance of collaborative efforts in safeguarding oceanic ecosystems.

Stephen Xuereb, COO of Global Ports Holding, stated, “As the gateway between sea and shore, our ports are uniquely positioned to lead initiatives on sustainability. With ‘From Every Port, For Every Coast’, we brought together colleagues, partners, and local communities to take meaningful action.” He emphasized the shared responsibility for cleaner oceans and the positive impacts of teamwork in coastal protection efforts.

The GPH sustainability strategy prioritizes minimizing environmental impact, empowering local communities, and promoting responsible growth. The organization is committed to reducing emissions, supporting coastal protection projects, and integrating sustainability into its operations and long-term planning.

This cleanup campaign is part of GPH’s broader vision of positioning ports not just as gateways for passengers but also as guardians of the coastal environments they serve. The data collected during this initiative will inform future coastal protection actions within GPH’s global framework.
