Functions of the 6th Generation Port in the Context of Environmental, Social and Governance Factors

Orientation towards environmental, social and governance standards is becoming very important today for the success and sustainability of organizations. In the international context where environmental policies and social responsibility are becoming increasingly important, adopting practices in this regard represents both an ethical and moral commitment and a business strategy. The need to address environmental, social and governance factors in the port organization is becoming more of an obligation than an initiative of its own, but which promises to bring with it a long series of opportunities that will help both port organizations that address environmental, social and governance provisions and their stakeholders. This paper addresses the functions of a new generation of ports, the sixth generation, still in the proposal stage, and environmental, social and governance factors, thus identifying the correlation between the two concepts. The incipient approach to the proposal for the development of a new port concept creates the opportunity to integrate environmental, social and governance factors as a constructive part of the sixth generation of ports.
