El Puerto Dock Sud placed its central focus on the management of sustainable port development, in line with current environmental and social guidelines that reduce the impacts of the activity on communities.
Within the framework of an activity at the National University of Avellaneda (Undav), the president of the Dock Sud Port Management Consortium, Mónica Litza, stated that “we have a very large task ahead of us: integrating the port with the city.”
“El Puerto Dock Sud is an economic engine for Avellaneda, the region, and the province of Buenos Aires, but this productive development also generates impacts that we must manage responsibly with an environmental perspective that considers people’s daily lives,” said the head of the Consortium.
In that regard, Litza added that “today ports are no longer merely spaces for the transfer of goods; they are global connection platforms that must adapt to new environmental, productive, and social demands. On this path, sustainability is not an isolated axis: it is part of a way of managing; it involves monitoring emissions, caring for water, reducing the environmental footprint, advancing in energy transition, and strengthening territorial integration.”
“From the Dock Sud Port Consortium, we take on this challenge as a concrete policy. We were the first Argentine port to obtain certification for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and we continue working so that port development is also an opportunity for the future of our city and our region,” commented the president of the port entity.
“Today the discussion is not production or the environment. The challenge is to produce more and better, but in a sustainable manner. These are central objectives of our management and are part of the port we want to build for the future,” emphasized Mónica Litza.
