CONTECON Guayaquil SA (CGSA),
the Ecuadorian subsidiary of International Container Terminal Services
Inc (ICTSI), recently obtained the ISO 14064-3:2006 international
certification for carbon neutrality after a rigorous verification and
audit process carried out by TUV Rheinland.
The certification, which marks CGSA's
compliance to ISO 14064 standards, lauds the company's policies that are
directed and translated towards greater sustainability initiatives, as
well as the incorporation of technologies that reduce the operation's
impact on Ecuador's largest and premier maritime gateway.
TUV Rheinland certified that CGSA compensated for 32,762 tonnes of
carbon dioxide from January 1 to December 31, 2017, based on the 2016
Emissions Inventory corresponding to the Annual Carbon Capture Report of
the "Bosques del Area Ecologica de Conservacion Municipal Tinajillas -
Rio Gualaceno y areas de manglar de Cerrito de los Morrenos," thus
demonstrating the company's faithful commitment to the environment.
"This international certification reflects our effort to establish
policies that guarantee sustainable action in favour of the environment
through sustainable practices that counteract any polluting emission
from the port terminal," said local terminal manager Jose Antonio
Contreras.
