Napier Port is committed to operating our business in a sustainable way

By focusing our efforts on those issues that we are in the best position to influence and improve, we believe we can make a measurable, meaningful and enduring contribution to sustainability. We continue to make good progress in our commitment to sustainability, with a focus on embedding sustainable practices throughout our operations. 

Sustainability Strategy

Our Sustainability Strategy and Action Plan implemented in 2021 identifies over 100 measurable workstreams across four pillars of people, planet, prosperity and partnerships stretching across a 10-year implementation timeframe (this can be found on our Investor Centre www.napierport.co.nz/investor-centre

Addressing Climate Change

This year, we published our fourth Climate Change Related Disclosure Report, providing an understanding of the potential financial implications of climate change on the business.

The focus of the fourth report is to comply with the new NZ CS framework and to incorporate, where relevant, updates to its Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA) report. The previous three years’ reports were primarily based on the recommendations of the TCFD.

Napier Port’s sustainability journey is one of continuous improvement and the people of Napier Port are committed to improving its environmental, social and economic performance by identifying and managing risks and finding opportunities to use our resources more efficiently.

Napier Port expects to further develop and improve its climate change related disclosures as we gather more information and knowledge and continue to deliver against our sustainability strategy.

Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions

The 2024 financial year (FY24) saw our emissions inventory being audited for a third time by Toitū Envirocare.

Napier Port has been measuring its Scope 1, 2 and limited Scope 3 emissions for several years which have been reported in the Annual Report and on our website.

During FY2021, we reviewed and redefined our GHG inventory to enable a better understanding of our emissions profile. During FY2022, our focus was creating the baseline year, so we took this expanded GHG inventory and collected the associated data to create a new base year for emissions reporting. Reported emissions for FY2022 included a wider range of Scope 3 emissions (including freight and employee commuting) and was externally certified by Toitu Envirocare. Reported emissions for FY2023 and FY2024 have been collected and certified on the same basis as FY2022 (our baseline year).

The FY2024 audit certification is available in the link to the right.

The certification means we’ve measured and managed the operational emissions of our organisation in accordance with ISO 14064-1:2018 and the Greenhouse Gas Protocol: A Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard (2004).
