The initiative is an important milestone for the modernization and sustainable development of these sectors, bringing guidelines, objectives, pillars and instruments aimed at good environmental, social and governance practices.
Several actions were incorporated into the environment and climate change pillar of this Policy, including strengthening management to speed up environmental licensing processes and promoting sectoral decarbonization. Among the instruments foreseen is the carrying out of environmental certifications to recognize compliance with applicable norms and standards.
For the 2025-2026 biennium, the Executive Secretariat of the Ministry of Ports and Airports must still establish, within 60 days of the publication of the Ordinance, the agenda of actions and goals to be met.
In the private sphere, the implementation of this Policy will be formalized through the voluntary adherence of companies in the sectors involved to the Pact for Sustainability, a commitment that will enable them to obtain the Sustainability Seal to be granted in different categories by the Ministry of Ports and Airports. The Seal can be used on products, services, documents and other applications that allow the company's commitment to sustainability to be disclosed.
