Belfast Harbour Secures BITC Platinum For 17th Year

Belfast Harbour has retained Platinum Level status from Business in the Community (BITC) in the 2025 Northern Ireland Environmental Benchmarking Survey, marking its 17th consecutive year at the top tier.

The annual survey benchmarks more than 150 organisations against their sector peers and leading Northern Ireland companies, assessing environmental management and performance in key areas, as well as how effectively sustainable practices are embedded within corporate strategies.

Simon Gibson, Marine, Environment and Biodiversity Officer at Belfast Harbour, said: "Belfast Harbour is proud to once again achieve Platinum status in the BITC Environmental Benchmarking Survey. Participating in this survey provides a valuable opportunity to gain meaningful insights and feedback on how our performance compares with peers and counterparts across Northern Ireland's business community.

"Having taken part in this survey for 25 years, our continued Platinum level status reflects our long-term commitment to sustainability and responsible growth, and the dedication of our people and partners in building a greener, more resilient Belfast Harbour.

"Accelerating our journey to net zero and supporting others to do the same is at the heart of our transformative plans in our 2025-29 strategy to Advance Regional Prosperity. Sustainability is equally central to our Draft Masterplan 2025-50, which is open for consultation until January. This bold, long-term vision for the Port and Estate places environmental responsibility as a key pillar in our plans for the future of Belfast Harbour."
