The need for the EPF work in sharing initiatives and knowledge on how Environmental Laws and EU Directives are implemented in practice is an important complement to the ESPO concentration on the policy and rules governing seaports in the sustainability sphere.

The EcoPorts approach is therefore strongly supported by ESPO. This is confirmed through a joint statement from ESPO and EcoPorts Foundation which can be downloaded below.
EcoPorts is always presented at the annual ESPO Conference and the EPF Secretariat works closely together with the ESPO Environmental Committee.

Last but not least, several of the EPF tools are recommended in the Environmental Code of Practice of ESPO.
