Sustainability Policy
Port Saint John is a critical part of Canada’s national transportation system. Under the Canada Marine Act and Saint John Port Authority Letters Patent, we must create customer value while respecting community needs. This is accomplished through transparent and accountable practices in operating and developing the Port in an environmentally, socially, and financially responsible manner.
Sustainable Procurement
We strive to ensure environmental protection and improvement are integrated into our overall business model. Port Saint John purchases products and services that do the least damage to the environment. In 2021, we implemented a responsible procurement policy to guide purchasing and ensure we consider the long-term impacts of what we buy.
Sustainable Cruise
Our cruise team has received training from the Global Sustainable Tourism Council, which establishes and manages global standards for sustainable travel and tourism, to help take our commitment to sustainability to the next level.
We are also members of collaborative groups that help facilitate sharing of sustainable cruise best practices such as:
