Pilbara Ports has today released its first Climate Action Plan (2025-2030), outlining a clear pathway towards a sustainable future for its port operations and the wider Pilbara region.
The five-year plan sets out practical actions to guide Pilbara Ports operations and to support our customers’ decarbonisation efforts in response to climate change.
The Climate Action Plan targets three key pillars for action - Climate Change Opportunity, Climate Change Resilience and Emissions Reduction. Under each of these pillars are targeted initiatives focussed on addressing climate risk.
Pilbara Ports Chief Executive Officer Samuel McSkimming said the Climate Action Plan reinforced the organisation’s commitment to sustainability and role in shaping a low-carbon future.
“As one of Australia’s leading facilitators of iron ore trade, we play a vital role in driving the global transition to net zero by 2050.
“This plan is about taking tangible steps to future proof our port operations, embracing new partnerships and opportunities, and developing initiatives that will support decarbonisation initiatives through our ports.
“Our ports are critical to global trade, and this Climate Action Plan ensures we remain a strong, resilient gateway for exports while ensuring we meet our climate action goals.”
The launch of the Climate Action Plan builds upon Pilbara Ports decarbonisation initiatives including the development of a Pilbara Clean Fuel Bunkering Hub, acting on its Scope 1, 2 and 3 carbon emissions and exploring renewable energy solutions at its ports.
