The Port of Tacoma was added to Inbound Logistics Magazine’s “Green 50 Supply Chain Partners,” an annual list of supply chain partners committed to sustainability.
Tacoma is one of five American ports and the only one in the Pacific Northwest to be honored. Other “Green 50” ports include the Port of Long Beach and the Port of Los Angeles.
In 2008, port commissioners adopted environmental goals that focus on protecting land and water, restoring habitat, reducing diesel emissions, improving stormwater quality, partnering with community and going beyond compliance. To date, the port has invested millions of dollars in a wide range of cleanup and improvement projects in and around Commencement Bay.
