Global Ports Holding Leads the Charge in Coastal Cleanup Efforts Across Its Network

Global Ports Holding (GPH), the world’s largest cruise port operator, celebrated International Coastal Cleanup Day with a significant campaign titled "From Every Port, For Every Coast." This initiative engaged port employees, local communities, and cruise line partners in various activities aimed at combating marine litter and protecting coastal areas.

Over 250 volunteers participated in the cleanup, dedicating more than 20 hours to remove over one ton of waste from shorelines, beaches, and nearby coastal regions. In addition to cleaning, the volunteers collected data that will contribute to international research on marine pollution, adding a valuable scientific component to the event.

Stephen Xuereb, GPH’s Chief Operating Officer, highlighted the strategic position of ports at the crossroads of land and sea, suggesting they have a crucial role in promoting sustainability. The campaign brought together employees, local partners, and community members, illustrating the power of shared responsibility in protecting vital coastlines.

GPH’s sustainability strategy rests on three core pillars: minimizing environmental impact, fostering local community development, and promoting responsible growth within its port network. This includes initiatives focused on reducing energy consumption, protecting coastlines, and engaging with communities.

The "From Every Port, For Every Coast" initiative is part of a broader strategy that positions ports not just as transit points for cruise passengers but also as stewards for the marine and coastal ecosystems they serve.

The data gathered during the cleanup will be utilized for future environmental reports and will aid in shaping long-term policies for coastal protection within the GPH network.
