Environmental ManagementEsperance Ports is committed to delivering best practice environmental management through implementation of the Port’s environmental management plan. The plan documents the strategy for identification of environmental hazards, implementation of controls to reduce risk and monitoring and measuring to assess effectiveness. Esperance Ports uses this process to drive continuous improvement. Each year the Port develops an environmental management program covering the key areas of community, environmental dust, environmental management system, environmental noise, marine environment, odour, and other emissions. This program identifies various activities in each of these areas that are to be completed throughout the year. The Port is required to operate under the requirements of its environmental licence 5099/10, and its three Ministerial Statements, MS325, MS570, MS681. The Port is audited by the Department of Environment and Conservation for compliance with its Environmental Licence, and is required to report regularly to the Environmental Protection Authority on compliance with its Ministerial Statements.
