EcoPorts Foundation (EPF) is a non profit organisation established in 1999 by a group of 8 large European ports for the benefit of ports and port communities. The primary purpose of EPF today is to act as network platform. This enables European Port Communities to exchange environmentally effective solutions, and work together in collaborative projects addressing sustainability issues in ports and related to the logistic chain. The EcoPorts knowledge, network, products and services are available for all our Network Partners.

The ultimate goal of the EPF is to create a level playing field in Europe in port-related sustainable management issues and to stimulate pro-active behaviour of port as regards sustainable management within the wider port area and logistic chain.

To achieve this goal the EPF is active in the following activities:

• Network activities to exchange good practices and experience;
• Stimulating implementation and further development of the Ecoports tools to implement best practices and port-related sustainable management;
• Engaging in projects to develop new technologies, procedures and/or to promote the exchange of best practices in the field of sustainable management within the wider port area and logistic chain.
