“…Numerous studies have found that enterprises with good ESG performance tend to obtain lower financing costs and ensure that their share prices are more stable. For this reason, research on the ESG applications in the international transportation industry has gained the increasing attention of scholars and the managers of the related enterprises [6][7][8][9][10][11].…”

An environmental, social and governance (ESG) evaluation system can focus on the value of enterprises more comprehensively and better scrutinize the development premise of enterprise. As a novel investment concept, both domestic and foreign investors widely acknowledge the significance of ESG. With the implementation of “carbon peak”, “carbon neutral” and other national strategies, an increasing number of transportation enterprises in China’s international commercial ports have started to focus on the role of ESG evaluation. This not only facilitates self-examination and correction within enterprises but also helps in adjusting the strategic direction toward sustainable development. This shift toward ESG evaluation is crucial for promoting environmental sustainability and corporate social responsibility within the transportation industry. In this regard, this study aims to evaluate the sustainable development performance of China’s international commercial ports based on ESG elements. A data envelopment analysis (DEA) is considered to be a non-parametric performance evaluation method that can effectively solve for multi-criteria decision-making units, so this study mainly selects the DEA model for the performance evaluation. This study conducted research to select eight benchmarking companies within the industry and found that efficient units excelled in their ability to complete capacity levels with high quality and quantity at ports. In contrast, less efficient units scored lower in the domain of social responsibility.

“…IMO has issued 352 circulars in one year and a half, all of them on the subject of COVID-19, which was unprecedented in history. It is relatively common to study texts such as maritime accident investigation reports [17], CSR reports [18], and news releases [9], but maritime circulars have not been studied. It is, therefore, an innovation to use textual analysis to analyze maritime circulars.…”

This study investigates how international organizations, International Maritime Organization (IMO) member states, and associate members have embarked on maritime management (MM) measures to address dire situations in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. It explores the evolution of MM practices from international organizations, IMO member states, and associate members to ensure the resilience and sustainability of the shipping industry. Corpus linguistics was employed as a computer-assisted method to assess a large number of naturally occurring texts. Circular letters from international organizations and member states listed on the IMO website from January 2020 to July 2021 were curated and built into three corpora. Through corpus linguistic analysis of circulars from three different crisis phases (Pre-/early-crisis, Crisis in progress, Post-COVID-19 crisis phase), we discovered an MM progression mechanism developed between stakeholders in conjunction with the post-crisis period. The study presented the “MM-as-process” vision to emphasize the time-varying dynamic nature of MM development during the disruption.

“…Several studies in the academic literature address sustainability initiatives in ports (Puig et al, 2022;Hossain et al, 2021;Hossain et al, 2019). However, few studies conducted field research with the ports' managers or stakeholders (Michalska-Szajer et al, 2021;Azarkamand et al, 2020;Schrobback & Meath, 2020;Ashrafi et al, 2019;Oh et al, 2018).…”

The paper aims to identify the environmental sustainability initiatives applied in Brazilian public ports. The survey was conducted with twenty port managers located along the Brazilian coast, and the results revealed that sustainability initiatives in Brazilian public ports are consistent with international practices. The study observed a trend in which ports integrate management indicators with sustainable development goals. Brazilian ports have demonstrated a commitment to publishing sustainability reports, although only eight ports currently use the GRI guidelines to prepare these reports. Therefore, there is room for improvement in aligning with international standards and improving external communication. Companies and stakeholders can compare sustainability reports more easily using a common international standard, facilitating benchmarking and identifying best practices. The enhancement of port resilience to the impacts of climate change requires continuous monitoring, and ports have access to various databases and tools for this purpose. According to the study, the most commonly used databases by the surveyed ports are meteorological/climatological and oceanographic/hydrological. Only 5% of all ports had green tariff incentives to reduce emissions in port regions. Furthermore, nearly 40% of all ports monitored CO2 emissions through emissions inventories, and only two ports employed solar energy. The paper outlines the main environmental sustainability initiatives in Brazilian public ports and provides insights for promoting more sustainable ports and cities.
