Environment committee

“Our primary aim is to help the ports industry become more sustainable”

Stefan Johansson, Chair, PEMA Environment Committee

Director of R&D, Lifttrucks and Reach Stackers, Cargotec

The mission of the PEMA Environment Committee is to provide a neutral information and education platform on the development and application of environmental technologies in the port and terminal industries.   As part of this, the Committee seeks to engage with other port and cargo handling associations, as well as individual companies, to keep abreast of latest directions and initiatives and feed this back into our members and our industry at large.

Made up of a broad cross-section of equipment and technology companies, the Environment Committee represents the first time that individual suppliers have come together to exchange views and experiences, pool and share knowledge on behalf of our industry as a whole, and build a neutral dialogue with the key stakeholders.

By maintaining a dialogue between relevant stakeholders in the industry, the Environment Committee aims to increase awareness of how equipment and technology can contribute to more sustainable port and terminal operations. This includes reduced environmental impact and lower energy consumption as a result of many innovations now being fostered in equipment design, automation and power supply, as well as new technologies helping to improve equipment utilization and fleet management.
